FOR HIS MANY YEARS OF VERY SUCCESSFUL INVOLVEMENT AND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARADIGM SHIFT IN ROBOTICS AND MECHATRONICS

We honour you for your many years of very successful commitment and your contributions to the development of the paradigm shift in robotics and mechatronics for use in industrial automation, space travel, surgery and elderly care, but also in solar-electric flying, as well as for your tireless efforts to translate technical and scientific research findings into practical applications, such as stereo image processing for 3D world modelling for autonomous driving and the digital cultural and technical heritage.

We especially honour you for not getting tired of honorary committee work, for example, as a contributor of ideas in the Bavarian Economic Future Council or on the board of trustees of the Deutsches Museum, where you have put your qualifications and creative power to the service of the idea that links science and the common good.
