About
Klemens Springer is a leading researcher in the field of robotics, with a primary focus on time-optimal trajectory planning and vibration control for flexible and industrial robotic systems. His work addresses the critical challenge of maximizing robot speed while maintaining precision and stability, particularly for flexible link robots and kinematically redundant manipulators. Springer’s most influential contribution is his 2013 paper on time-optimal trajectory planning for flexible link robots (19 citations), where he developed methods to minimize motion time along specified paths and for point-to-point motions while actively avoiding vibration excitation from elastic deflections. He has also advanced dynamic programming approaches for industrial robots that incorporate torque derivative and jerk constraints, and introduced an explicit method for time-optimal planning in redundant serial robots. His research extends to active vibration control using Model Predictive Control (MPC) and sensorless vibration suppression for fast-moving linear robots. Additionally, Springer has contributed to motion simulator technology through washout filter concepts for Stewart platforms. With a consistent record of publications addressing real-time, nearly time-optimal trajectory planning using dynamic movement primitives, his work is essential for engineers seeking to enhance the speed, accuracy, and safety of modern robotic systems in manufacturing and automation.
