Prof. Dr. Karsten Berns studied computer science at the University of Kaiserslautern from 1982 to 1988. He specialised in artificial intelligence. His diploma thesis was the development of a diagnosis system for the classification of cancer cells. In 1994 he received his PhD. from the University of Karlsruhe. The topic of his Thesis was "Neural Networks for the Control of a six-legged Walking Machine". From 1989 till April 2003 he was employed at the Research Center of Information Technologies (FZI) at the University of Karlsruhe where he led the group "Interactive Diagnosis- and Servicesystems" (IDS). During this time his research work was focused on the development of technical diagnosis systems as well as the realisation of adaptive control concepts for service robots. Since April 2003 he is a full professor for robotic systems at Kaiserslautern University of Technology. Present research arctivities are in the area of autonomous mobile robots and humanoid robots with a strong focus on control system architecture and behaviour-based control.
