About
Dr. Wiebke Brinkmann is a leading researcher in space robotics, specializing in modular and reconfigurable systems for future planetary exploration and in-space servicing. Her work centers on developing standardized interfaces—such as the SIROM (Standard Interface for Robotic Manipulation of Payloads)—that integrate mechanical, thermal, data, and power transfer, enabling unprecedented flexibility and adaptability for multi-robot teams. A key contribution is her design of active payload modules and end-effectors that allow robots to autonomously assemble and reconfigure payloads, directly supporting ambitious concepts like lunar In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) infrastructure. Her highly cited papers (with top works garnering 17, 14, and 12 citations) have helped shape European space robotics strategy, notably through her leadership in the PERIOD and PRO-ACT projects. Dr. Brinkmann’s recent work also pioneers AI-powered modular toolboxes and heterogeneous multi-robot teaming, pushing toward fully autonomous, sustainable space missions. Her research is foundational for the future of on-orbit manufacturing and assembly.
