Markus Krabbes (born December 6, 1970 in Leipzig ) is a German engineer and professor of information systems . His specialties are software technologies for the computational implementation of methods of automation technology and robotics in mechatronics . From 2011 to 2019 he was Vice Rector for Research and from 2013/2014 acting Rector of the University of Technology, Economics and Culture (HTWK) in Leipzig.

Training course

Markus Krabbes was born in Leipzig in Saxony , both parents worked as engineering economists. From 1977 to 1980 he attended the 21st Polytechnische Oberschule (POS) Leipzig and from 1980 to 1987 the 5th POS in Grimma near Leipzig. This was followed by vocational training from 1987 to 1990 as a "machine and plant fitter with high school diploma" at the company vocational school of the chemical plant construction combine Leipzig-Grimma (CLG).

After completing his military service with the German Armed Forces, he enrolled in the 1991 winter semester in the electrical engineering degree course, specializing in measurement, control and regulation technology at the Technical University of Leipzig . At that time, his academic teachers included Siegfried Altmann , Herbert Ehrlich , Günter Stein , Klaus-Peter Schulze , Werner Kriesel , Klaus Steinbock and others

In mid-1996 he completed his studies with a diploma thesis on components for controlling a mobile robot system under the supervision of Professor Matthias Sturm in the field of control engineering with the responsible university professor Hans-Georg Woschni (overall rating “with distinction”).

Activity in the field of robotics

Krabbes started his career in 1996 as a scientific project employee in the Neuroinformatics department (Head: Horst-Michael Groß ) at the TU Ilmenau , Faculty of Computer Science and Automation Technology. The roots of this chair lie in a research laboratory for bionics , which was established since 1976 by Edgar Körner , who was appointed to a professorship for biocybernetics at the TU Ilmenau in 1988 and at the same time headed the neurocomputing department at the Magdeburg Institute for Neurobiology and Brain Research , today's Leibniz -Institute for Neurobiology .

In the topic "Visually guided robot navigation with adaptive neural architectures" worked on by Krabbes, the focus was on the modeling (cooperation with the specialist Jürgen Wernstedt ) of the obstacle-avoiding and targeted navigation behavior of a human expert ( monitored learning ). Here, neural processing principles for visual sensors and an agent-based behavioral organization were preferred.

In mid-1998 Krabbes moved to the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg , Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Institute for Automation Technology (IFAT) as a research assistant . This institute was founded by Peter Neumann after the German reunification and was under his direction until 1994 the Institute for Automation and Communication e. V. (ifak) Magdeburg as an affiliate of the university and permanently moved there. During Krabbes' stay, IFAT was headed by Ulrich Korn and then by Hans-Michael Hanisch , who was later appointed to the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg as the successor to Georg Brack .

As an assistant at the Chair of Automation Technology / Modeling , Krabbes was closely involved in the entire research and teaching activities of the chair holder Christian Döschner . In addition to the founding assistant Herbert Ehrlich, he was one of the early assistants who advanced the establishment of the Institute for Control Engineering, founded by Heinrich Wilhelmi in 1960 , from which, in the course of the university reform of 1968, the control engineering and process control science area as the direct predecessor of IFAT in the technical cybernetics section and electrical engineering was created (founding director: Heinz Töpfer ).

Krabbes was able to continue his research work on dynamic modeling using neural architectures on an industrial articulated arm robot in Magdeburg and completed his dissertation on the feedback linearization of an industrial robot in 2002.

In mid-2001, when he had specialized in the areas of "control and regulation technology" and "modeling in robotics", he moved to the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology in Chemnitz , which at that time was under the direction of Reimund Neugebauer , who has now been In 2012 he was President of the Fraunhofer Society in Munich . Krabbes processed mechatronic tasks on multi-axis parallel kinematic machine tools such as the “Mikromat 6X” within the machine and process informatics department. At the beginning of 2002 he was also appointed head of the "Control and Regulation Engineering" working group at the Fraunhofer Institute.

In the 2003/2004 winter semester, Krabbes was appointed professor in the information systems teaching and research area at the Electrical Engineering Department (then: Electrical Engineering and Information Systems Faculty; today: Engineering Faculty) at the HTWK Leipzig. In September 2003 he returned to the premises of his former study facility, TH Leipzig .

Teaching

As a member of the Institute for Process Automation and Embedded Systems (PAES; spokesperson: Tilo Heimbold ), his teaching area primarily includes software technologies for the computational implementation of automation technology methods . This ranges from real-time programming to numerical processes and methods of artificial intelligence . The focus here is on computer-based design and simulation technology, which, with corresponding real-time expansion, form the basis of mechatronic and simulation-based project planning.

research

Krabbes' field of activity is primarily focused on applied research, which is based on collaboration with other specialist colleagues and research institutions. These include studies on the cooperative use of robots together with the Innovation Center Computer Assisted Surgery (ICCAS) Leipzig, the optimized use of parallel kinematic machines together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology (IWU) Chemnitz, or the control of autonomous mobile systems (especially as student projects) .

Academic self-government

In 2006 Krabbes was elected a member of the faculty council and at the same time took over the office of vice dean . In early 2007 Krabbes was elected to the office of dean and in 2009 for a further term.

In 2011, at the suggestion of the newly elected Rector Renate Lieckfeldt , Krabbes was elected to the position of Vice-Rector for Scientific Development by the Senate. The focus of his work in this office was the participation in the profiling in research and teaching formulated by the university development plan up to 2020 while at the same time implementing extensive state-decreed job cuts at the HTWK Leipzig.

When the rector withdrew from office in August 2013 for health reasons, he became the deputy rector. Since the rector's death in September 2013, the HTWK Leipzig has been headed by Markus Krabbes in a double function as acting rector for one year.

In summer 2014 Gesine Grande was elected rector of the HTWK Leipzig. During their five-year term in office, Krabbes was once again a member of the Rectorate as Vice-Rector for Research . With the change of rector to Mark Mietzner from the winter semester 2019, the professor of construction Ralf Thiele has taken over the office of vice-rector for research.

Markus Krabbes was elected chairman of the HTWK's friends' association in 2019 , which has been headed by Siegfried Altmann since 1997 and led by Klaus-Peter Schulze from 2005 to 2019 and actively supported in his sponsorship and international activities by the Leipzig-born American Horst Saalbach becomes.
