About
Reimar Tausch is a researcher whose work spans two distinct yet methodologically connected domains: biomechanically inspired robotics and automated 3D digitization of cultural heritage. His early contributions focused on legged locomotion, most notably his 2009 paper exploring how passively compliant, three-segmented legs can naturally yield bipedal jogging through optimized walking speed — a paradigm-shifting perspective that embraced biological elasticity rather than suppressing it, garnering 59 citations and influencing the design philosophy of walking robots. Over time, Tausch pivoted toward the digitization of cultural artifacts, addressing the growing demand driven by Europe's Digital Agenda and Cultural Heritage Strategy. His research has tackled the full pipeline of 3D mass digitization for galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM), from virtual robotic system modeling to automated acquisition workflows and point cloud quality metrics for image-based reconstruction. His 2015 work on virtual robotic digitization systems (17 citations) and his subsequent studies on scalable GLAM digitization reflect a sustained commitment to making heritage preservation faster, more faithful, and widely accessible. With a cumulative citation record demonstrating steady influence across robotics and digital humanities, Tausch represents a uniquely interdisciplinary voice in applied robotics research.
