About
Roman Holderried is a leading figure in space robotics, specializing in multi-robot collaboration, scalable autonomy teleoperation, and locomotion systems for low-gravity environments. His work is pivotal to advancing how robotic teams operate in space, both in orbit and on planetary surfaces. Holderried’s major contributions include pioneering the first International Space Station (ISS)-to-surface multi-robot collaboration through the Surface Avatar mission, a joint effort between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the European Space Agency. This groundbreaking demonstration, detailed in his 2024 paper (6 citations), showcases how astronauts can remotely control robotic teams on planetary surfaces with scalable autonomy, a critical step for future lunar and Martian exploration. Additionally, his 2023 paper (6 citations) on qualifying the MMX Rover’s locomotion subsystem for the Martian moon Phobos addresses the unprecedented challenge of wheeled mobility in ultra-low gravity. This work is essential for the Japanese Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission, where Holderried’s expertise ensures the rover can traverse Phobos’s surface. With his research bridging human-robot interaction and extreme-environment engineering, Holderried is shaping the future of autonomous space exploration.
