About

Stefan Keilich is a robotics researcher specializing in humanoid platform design and vehicle operation by autonomous systems. His work centers on developing full-size humanoid robots capable of interacting with human-centered environments, particularly focusing on the mechanical and kinematic challenges of enabling robots to drive unmodified vehicles. Keilich’s major contribution is the creation of HART (Human Assistive RoboT), a humanoid platform designed to operate off-the-shelf vehicles. His 2018 paper on the development of HART’s lower body (3 citations) addresses critical design requirements for stability and dexterity in driving tasks. Building on this, his 2023 work on the Kinematic Adjustable Humanoid Platform (2 citations) further refines the robot’s driving capabilities, showcasing advancements in adaptability and control. Though early in his career, Keilich’s research bridges humanoid robotics and autonomous transportation, with potential applications in assistive technology and disaster response. His work highlights the intersection of mechanical design and real-world functionality, making him a notable contributor to the field of humanoid robotics and vehicle automation.
