Bulgarian roboticists

I maintain a list of active Bulgarian researchers in robotics and machine learning. If you would like to be added to this list please contact me.

I also maintain a mailing list called Bulgarian Robotics Group, for exchanging useful information related to ongoing robotics projects, job opportunities, and other news to help each other. You can sign up for the mailing list at at Google Groups here:
