About
Michael Strohmayr is a pioneering roboticist whose work has fundamentally advanced the integration of artificial skin into robotic systems, bridging the gap between high sensitivity and practical, collision-tolerant designs. His key research areas include tactile sensing, human-robot interaction safety, and whole-body robotic covers. Strohmayr’s major contributions are exemplified by his development of the DLR artificial skin, detailed in his most-cited paper, "The DLR artificial skin step I: Uniting sensitivity and collision tolerance" (48 citations), which addressed the long-standing challenge of creating sensitive yet robust skin for safe human-robot collaboration. He further extended this work with "The DLR artificial skin step II: Scalability as a prerequisite for whole-body covers" (16 citations), demonstrating how to scale tactile sensing for full-body robotic applications. His impact is also evident in foundational studies like "Injury evaluation of human-robot impacts" (15 citations), which provided critical safety benchmarks for domestic robots. Additionally, his thesis, "Artificial Skin in Robotics" (11 citations), serves as a comprehensive guide for system-environment interaction. Strohmayr’s innovative crossed-wire tactile sensor design for robotic hands, published in "The DLR touch sensor I" (23 citations), remains a notable achievement, showcasing his ability to merge flexibility with precision. His work continues to inspire safer, more intuitive robotic systems.
