About

Guenther Seliger is a leading figure in production engineering and automation, with a career defined by pioneering work in grasping technologies and sustainable manufacturing. His seminal paper, "Grasping devices and methods in automated production processes" (2014), has amassed over 265 citations, establishing a foundational framework for robotic manipulation in industrial settings. Seliger’s research spans the design of adaptive gripping systems, energy-efficient automation, and lifecycle-oriented production strategies. Notably, he has explored advanced control techniques for underactuated robots—such as adaptive model predictive control and quasi-linearization—to minimize energy consumption in complex, nonlinear systems. His contributions extend to remanufacturing and closed-loop material flows, where he integrates economic viability with environmental sustainability. A professor at the Technical University of Berlin, Seliger has shaped modern production science through both theoretical insights and practical applications. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in intelligent automation, resource-efficient robotics, and the future of green manufacturing.
