About me

I study computer science at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, Comenius University in Bratislava (3rd year). In my bachelor’s thesis I’m teaching a Unitree G1 humanoid robot to walk by text instructions using a VLA model. In my year project I built and trained an AI agent for the Kaggle Hungry Geese competition from scratch. Games in Unity and Unreal Engine got me into programming, and I’ve done an internship at a game studio. Alongside university I work in IT at Orange Slovensko, and in my free time I build web apps from the first idea all the way to deployment.

TalkToWalk

Bachelor’s thesis, Comenius University · 2026 – 2027

Navigation of a Unitree G1 humanoid robot by text instructions. The robot looks around with its camera and finds the way on its own. I’m fine-tuning the NVIDIA GR00T N1 VLA model for it, first in Isaac Sim, then on the real robot.
