About
Maximilian Hachen is a leading researcher in the field of soft and continuum robotics, with a primary focus on the modeling, control, and practical deployment of tendon-driven continuum robots (TDCRs). His most significant contribution is the development of a non-linear model predictive controller (MPC) that leverages the complex kinematics and inherent redundancy of these flexible robots. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 8 citations, directly addresses the critical challenge of navigating narrow, confined spaces for applications in minimally invasive surgery and industrial inspection. By satisfying strict shape constraints during task-space control, Hachen’s controller enables safer and more precise autonomous operation in delicate environments. His research bridges the gap between theoretical non-linear dynamics and real-world robotic manipulation, offering a robust framework for the next generation of flexible surgical tools and inspection devices. With his work rapidly gaining recognition, Hachen is establishing himself as a key innovator in making continuum robots more reliable and controllable for high-stakes, constrained environments.
