Christopher Armbrust was born in Mainz on September 29, 1981. From 2001 to 2007, he studied computer science at the University of Kaiserslautern. Focal point was the robotics, with which he was employed under various courses and also during his project work. The completion of his studies was his Diploma thesis with the title ``Mobile Robot Navigation Using Dynamic Maps and a Behaviour-Based Anti-Collision System''. Since winter semester 2007/2008, Christopher Armbrust is a member of the PhD programme of the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Kaiserslautern and works at the Robotics Research Lab. His research interests are behaviour-based control systems, autonomous mobile robots, and robot navigation.
