About
Jan Preisig is a pioneering roboticist whose research focuses on extreme-terrain mobility, planetary exploration, and legged locomotion. Their most cited work, "Scientific exploration of challenging planetary analog environments with a team of legged robots" (2023, 104 citations), demonstrates how multi-robot systems can overcome the limitations of traditional wheeled rovers by traversing steep slopes and unstructured terrain. This landmark study, conducted in planetary analog environments, proved that legged robots can access scientifically valuable sites previously considered unreachable—a breakthrough for in situ resource utilization and astrobiology missions. Preisig's contributions have redefined the capabilities of autonomous exploration, showing that collaborative legged teams can operate in the most hostile landscapes on Earth and beyond. Their work bridges robotics, geology, and space science, offering a scalable solution for future lunar and Martian missions. With growing citation impact, Preisig is recognized as a leader in bio-inspired robotics and field deployment, pushing the boundaries of where robots can go and what they can discover.
