The Reality is 3D

Dr. Armin Wedler, with a background in Robotics and Mechanical Engineering from Leibniz Universität Hannover, earned his Ph.D. specializing in adaptive passive-compliant systems for robotics in 2010. His career then led him to the German Aerospace Center in 2008, where he played pivotal roles in space robotics, planetary exploration, and mobile robot systems, contributing to significant projects like EXOMARS, AHEAD, and several HGF initiatives like ARCHES and iFOODis.

His expertise further expanded into autonomous systems and team leadership, overseeing planetary exploration, field robotics and the mobile robotic activities at the DLR-RM-Institute since 2014. Dr. Wedler also serves as a journal and conference reviewer and has a strong presence in the field.

Dr. Josef Reill earned his degree in electrical engineering from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany in 2005, followed by his Ph.D. in 2010. During the years 2005 to 2009, he was affiliated with the chair of electrical drives and machines at Erlangen, where his research primarily focused on optimizing vector and sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motors.

Since November 2009, Dr. Reill has been a part of the German Aerospace Center, specifically the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics. Within this role, his primary focus has been on controlling permanent magnet synchronous machines utilized in robotic joints for applications both on Earth and in space. Notably, he leads the electrical drives initiatives at the institute and has played a pivotal role in coordinating the mobility subsystem of MASCOT.

Tim Bodenmüller is senior researcher at the Department of Perception and Cognition of the Robotics and Mechatronics Center, German Aerospace Center (DLR). He received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in electrical and information engineering in 2001 from the Technical University of Darmstadt and his PhD in electrical engineering in 2009 from the Technical University of Munich. Since 2001, he is with the Institute of
Robotics and Mechatronics, where he works in the field of 3D-sensing, -modeling, and -processing.
