The TriPed project was one of the robotics systems for which I was the main driver. This threelegged robot was meant as a plattform to explore novel locomotion strategies and I was deeply involved in turning that concept into a working system.
My contribution covered both the high-level and hands-on sides of the project. I was involved in major hardware and software design decisions, developed large parts of the control architecture, and contributed substantially to implementation work ranging from wiring and electrical integration to programming and simulation. In short, I was chiefly responsible for pushing the three-legged robot from concept toward a functional experimental platform.

Hi I am Jan! I am a researcher working at the intersection of robotics and manufacturing. My work focuses on intelligent robotic manufacturing systems, where reconfigurable hardware and autonomous reasoning systems meet to enable autonomous and circular production. I also coordinate the Industrial Robotics research at wbk Institute of Production Science, KIT, as well as the Collaborative Research Centre 1574 Circular Factory for the Perpetual Innovative Product.
