About
Maximilian Brunner is a leading researcher in aerial robotics, specializing in the control and physical interaction of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with dynamic environments. His work focuses on enabling robust aerial manipulation—where robots not only fly but also physically interact with moving objects and surfaces. Brunner’s major contributions include the development of energy tank-based policies that allow aerial robots to safely and compliantly interact with their surroundings, even under external disturbances. His 2022 paper on this topic has garnered 28 citations, reflecting its impact on the field. In 2023, he advanced multi-directional interaction force control, enabling robots to distinguish between intentional interaction forces and environmental disturbances, improving both accuracy and safety. His research on omnidirectional tilt-rotor flying robots further expands the capabilities of aerial platforms for physical interaction tasks. Brunner’s work is pivotal for applications in inspection, maintenance, and search-and-rescue, where robots must operate in unstructured, unpredictable environments. His innovative approaches are shaping the next generation of interactive aerial systems.
