About

Peter Herrmann's research sits at the intersection of model-based engineering, cyber-physical systems, and autonomous robotics, with a particular focus on systems that must operate reliably in physical space. His major contributions center on developing rigorous, model-driven approaches for designing and analyzing complex systems where mobility, wireless communication, and self-adaptation are critical. Notably, his most-cited work (18 citations) proposes a comprehensive framework for engineering space-aware systems communicating via IEEE 802.11, combining model-based development with simulation and emulation techniques to address the challenges of mobile communication in autonomous control. Herrmann has also advanced the field of mobile cyber-physical systems through his work on service virtualization for self-adaptation (5 citations), enabling systems to dynamically adjust their behavior in response to changing environments. In a particularly impactful application, he developed a model-based controller and simulator for a robotic rollator (RoRo, 4 citations), demonstrating how formal engineering methods can enhance assistive mobility devices for people with ambulatory difficulties. His work on model-based robot control (2 citations) further showcases his commitment to making complex software development more accessible and maintainable. Through these contributions, Herrmann has established himself as a key figure in bridging formal modeling with real-world autonomous systems.
