Dr. Tobias Bruckmann received the Dipl.-Ing. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Duisburg-Essen, Duisburg, Germany, in 2004 and the Dr.-Ing. In 2010. He is currently working as a Lecturer and Research Group Leader at the Chair of Mechatronics, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, where he is leading a research team with experiences in numerous fields of robotics, including cable-driven parallel manipulators, construction machines and human-machine interaction. His interests focus on cable-driven parallel manipulators, mechatronic system design and real-time control.

Dr. Bruckmann is co-initiator and member of the scientific committee of the “International Conference on Cable-Driven Parallel Robots”, that took place in Stuttgart, Germany, 2012, in Duisburg, Germany, 2014, in Québec, Canada, 2017 and in Krakow, Poland, 2019. In parallel, he was member of the scientific committees of the annual IFToMM D-A-CH Conferences 2015 to 2020. Since 2017, he is member of the scientific committee of the International Symposium on Robotics & Mechatronics.

Tobias Bruckmann is member of VDI/VDI-GMA Technical Committees 4.15 „Mechatronik“ and 4.10 „Interdisziplinäre Produktentstehung“ and member of the Technical Committee for Robotics and Mechatronics of the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science (IFToMM). He edited four books and published over 60 scientific articles and conference contributions.
