Hartmut Surmann (2002)

Hartmut Surmann (* 1963 in Dülmen ) is a German computer scientist , doctor of electrical engineering and professor for autonomous systems at the Westphalian University of Gelsenkirchen Bocholt Recklinghausen and the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (IAIS, until 6/2018). His research interests are in autonomous mobile robotics and computational intelligence . In 2009 he headed the international robotics team to support the fire brigade after the collapse of the historic city archive in Cologne , and in 2016 he flew drone flights in two churches after the earthquake in Amatrice in Italy .

Life

After graduating from the Clemens-Brentano-Gymnasium (Dülmen) , Hartmut Surmann studied computer science at the University of Dortmund from 1984 to 1989 . He completed his studies with a thesis on the investigation of hardware fault tolerance of selected associative storage concepts based on neural networks . Subsequently, from 1990–1994, he worked as a research assistant at the chair for components in electrical engineering at Karl Goser, where he did his doctorate on the automatic design of fuzzy systems using genetic algorithms and neural networks. In 1994 he moved as a postdoc at that Society for Mathematics and Data Processing (from 1996 GMD Information Technology Research Center , as of 2001 the Fraunhofer Institute for Autonomous Intelligent Systems, from 2006 the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems ) to Sankt Augustin . There he began to deal with robots , in particular with autonomous mobile robots , and to publish. In addition to his academic work at the Birlinghoven campus , he studied organizational and personnel development at the University of Dortmund from 1995 to 1998. In 2009 he took over the management of the newly created teaching and research area Autonomous Systems at the Westphalian University of Gelsenkirchen Bocholt Recklinghausen . From 2010 to 2014 he worked with international partners in the EU-funded project on the development of autonomous, mobile ground and air robots that were used in Mirandola in 2012 after the severe earthquake in northern Italy . From 2014 to 2018 he worked with international partners in the EU-funded Tradr project. The robots developed there were used in 2016 during the severe earthquake in Amatrice / Italy . Hartmut Surmann is a founding member and board member of the German Rescue Robotics Center and has been actively involved in its development since 2018. As part of the AI-Arena project (from 11/2019), he is involved in setting up AI laboratories for qualification as part of research projects in the field of artificial intelligence.

Hartmut Surmann's students with their own professorship are Andreas Nüchter (University of Würzburg) and Stefan May (Technical University of Nuremberg).

Awards

Surmann has received numerous awards for his research work, for example the FUZZ-IEEE / IFES'95 robot intelligence award , the NC2001 best presentation award , the SSRR 2005 and 2017 best paper award and for his doctoral thesis the German KI Institute Prize 1996. His robot KURT3D became vice world champion at the RoboCup Rescue in Lisbon in 2004 .
