About
Dr. Milan Hermann is a leading researcher in legged robotics, with a specific focus on elastically actuated systems for extreme environments. His work is at the forefront of a paradigm shift from wheeled rovers to legged robots for planetary exploration. A core contribution is his development of control frameworks for static balancing and walking in compliantly actuated robots, as detailed in his 2019 paper (5 citations). He demonstrated the viability of this approach on rough terrain with the DLR Quadruped "bert," a key experiment published in 2020 (15 citations). Most notably, Dr. Hermann is a principal investigator on the DLR-ESA Surface Avatar mission, where he leads groundbreaking teleoperation experiments from the ISS to a quadruped robot on Earth (2024, 6 citations). This work validates the critical technologies needed to command heterogeneous robot teams on lunar and planetary surfaces, proving that legged locomotion can access areas unreachable by traditional rovers. His research is directly shaping the future of autonomous exploration in space.
