Osher was awarded a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship to pursue his research project titled "The Future of Robotics: Learning Multimodal Policies for Human-Level Dexterity". In the proposed project, Osher seeks to develop a learning framework that enables robots to perform complex manipulation tasks with a level of dexterity and adaptability comparable to human capabilities.
Osher received his B.Sc. (cum laude) and M.Sc. degrees in mechanical engineering from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in 2019 and 2020, respectively. He earned his Ph.D. from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Tel Aviv University, focusing on learning manipulation skills with adaptive robotic hands. Throughout his studies, Osher was recognized with several awards, including the Nehemia Levtzion Scholarship, the KLA scholarship, and the Mechanical Engineering Graduate Research Award.
