Johannes Englsberger received his Dipl.-Ing. degree (equivalent to a Master’s degree) in mechanical engineering from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in 2009. In 2010, he joined the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, as a research scientist. In 2016, he received the Dr.-Ing. degree (equivalent to a PhD) from TUM. His PhD thesis, “Combining reduced dynamics models and whole-body control for agile humanoid locomotion,” was awarded the Georges Giralt PhD Award 2017 for the best European doctoral thesis in robotics.
In 2019, he was appointed team leader of DLR’s legged locomotion group. In addition to his scientific career at DLR, he joined team IHMC (Florida Institute of Human and Machine Cognition, USA) as a visiting researcher and successfully participated in the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC).
More recently, Johannes Englsberger co-founded Versatile Robotics GmbH, a DLR spin-off company providing advanced multi-task control technologies for complex robotic systems, and serves as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO). His work bridges fundamental research and industrial deployment, with a focus on robust, safe, and scalable control frameworks for autonomous and interactive robots.
