About

Markus Eisenbach is a robotics and computer vision researcher whose work bridges human-robot interaction, rehabilitation robotics, and industrial automation. He is best known for his pioneering contributions to the ROREAS project, a robotic coach designed to assist stroke patients with walking and orientation training during clinical rehabilitation. This flagship work, which has accumulated 70 citations, demonstrated that mobile robots could meaningfully support post-stroke recovery by autonomously accompanying patients through self-directed walking exercises in real clinical environments. Eisenbach's research has consistently addressed the challenge of making robots socially and perceptually aware. His work on multi-modal person perception, user recognition, and visual re-identification equips service robots with the ability to reliably detect, track, and follow individuals across complex, dynamic settings. More recently, he has expanded into industrial human-robot collaboration, contributing the ATTACH dataset and skeleton-based action recognition methods that enable collaborative robots to understand and respond to human assembly actions. Underpinning much of his research is a strong foundation in sensor fusion, laser range finder calibration, and real-time pose estimation, ensuring his systems perform robustly on hardware-constrained platforms. With over 200 cumulative citations across his most impactful papers, Eisenbach's work represents a cohesive and practically grounded research program aimed at making robots genuinely useful partners in both healthcare and manufacturing contexts.
