Ingo Rechenberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ingo Rechenberg (born November 20, 1934 in Berlin ) is one of the founders of the use of evolutionary biological algorithms in engineering. From 1972 he was professor for bionics at the Technical University of Berlin and head of the chair for bionics and evolutionary technology at the TU Berlin.

Researches

The spider species Cebrennus rechenbergi was named after him. The species became famous for its ability to move, which is unique for spiders. Her four pairs of legs allow her a movement that is reminiscent of a flick-flick and with which she can move, almost rolling, twice as fast as with her normal leg movement.

Ingo Rechenberg discovered the spider in 2006 during a research stay in the Sahara , during which the surface properties and behavior of desert-dwelling organisms such as the "sand fish" Scincus albifasciatus were examined. The results of such observations can be used in bionics to develop technical systems based on biological principles. The studies on the behavior of Cebrennus rechenbergi , which Rechenberg also called the “Radlers Spider”, led to the construction of various robots that can move on difficult terrain.
