Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am a mechanical engineer with a PhD in computer science and over 10 years of experience in the development, design, and commissioning of complex mechatronic systems – especially humanoid robots, grippers, drives, and automation technology.

My focus areas are:

Robotics & Actuation – Development of humanoid systems (e.g., ARMAR-7), force-controlled systems, cycloidal drives

Automation & Control – Integration of sensors, actuators, control systems, software

Design & Simulation – CAD, FEM, dynamic modeling of complex kinematic systems

Industry experience – including hydropower plants, steel construction, robotics

Research & Prototyping – publications, patents, international conferences, experimental setups & test benches

I can support you in the development of industrially suitable automation solutions, the conception of mechatronic systems, or the optimization of existing control and robot systems – remotely or on-site.
