About

Peter Fettke is a prominent researcher whose work spans two compelling and increasingly relevant domains: robotic process automation (RPA) and rescue robotics. His scholarship sits at the intersection of computer science, management, and artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on how intelligent systems can transform both organizational processes and emergency response operations. Among his most significant contributions is his foundational work on Robotic Process Automation, where he has helped define, structure, and advance the field through influential publications and edited volumes. His research on RPA in public administrations — garnering 33 citations — has been especially impactful, demonstrating how automation technologies can modernize complex governmental IT landscapes. His most-cited work (36 citations) addresses the German Rescue Robotics Center (DRZ), advocating a holistic, collaborative framework for deploying robots in emergency scenarios alongside first responders. Fettke has also pioneered the use of team communication analytics to give autonomous robots situational mission awareness — a technically nuanced contribution bridging natural language processing and robotics. More recently, his survey on Business Process Management and Artificial Intelligence signals his continued engagement with the evolving frontier of intelligent automation. Across his career, Fettke has distinguished himself as both a rigorous theorist and a practically minded researcher shaping real-world applications.
