At the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2023 an “honorable mention” was received for the publication
Marie Harder, Manuel Keppler, Xuming Meng, Christian Ott, Hannes Höppner and Alexander Dietrich, “Simultaneous Motion Tracking and Joint Stiffness Control of Bidirectional Antagonistic Variable-Stiffness Actuators,” in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, vol. 7, no. 3, pp. 6614-6621, July 2022.
This publication resulted from an international collaboration between the German Aerospace Center (DLR), TU Wien, and BHT Berlin. The paper was selected by the RA-L Editorial Board as one of 5 Honorable Mentions among more than 1100 papers published in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L) in 2022.
Univ.-Prof. Christian Ott was awarded the IEEE Fellow Award for contributions to torque-control theory using passive joint elasticity and the whole-body control of humanoids. The IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership in IEEE. Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation. It is recognized by the technical community as a prestigious honor and an important career achievement.
