About

Malte Langosz is a robotics researcher whose work bridges the gap between complex mechanical design and intelligent, adaptive control systems. His primary research areas include multi-legged locomotion, evolutionary robotics, and modular space robotics. Langosz’s most impactful contribution is the development and control of the MANTIS robot, a six-legged walking platform detailed in his most-cited paper (27 citations), which showcases his expertise in integrating mechanical design with sophisticated sensor and computing hardware. He has also pioneered novel approaches to robot control, such as the Swarm-Assisted Behavior Graph Evolution (SABRE) algorithm, which combines genetic algorithms with particle swarm optimization to evolve robot controllers, and the behavior-based library for locomotion control of kinematically complex robots. Demonstrating a forward-looking vision, Langosz is actively contributing to sustainable space exploration through the MODKOM project, designing an AI-powered modular toolbox for future planetary missions. His work on experimental evaluation of AGV dispatching methods using digital twins further highlights his commitment to practical, real-world robotics applications. With a career spanning from evolutionary legged robotics to cutting-edge space systems, Langosz is shaping the future of autonomous, adaptable robots.
