Henrik I Christensen is the
KUKA Chair of Robotics and
a Distinguished Professor of Computing with the
Georgia Institute of Technology.
He also serves as the executive director of the
Institute for Robotics
and Intelligent Machines. Dr. Christensen was initially
trained in Mechanical Engineering and worked subsequently
with MAN/BW Diesel. He earned M.Sc. and Ph.D. EE degrees
from Aalborg University, 1987 and 1990, respectively.
Upon graduation Dr. Christensen has participated in a large number of international research projects across 4 continents. He has held positions at Aalborg University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Royal Institute of Technologybefore joining Georgia Tech.
Dr. Christensen does research on robotics with a particular emphasis on a systems perspective to the problem. Solutions must have a strong theoretical basis, a corresponding well-defined implementation and it must be evaluated in realistic settings. There is a strong emphasis on “real systems for real applications!”
The research has involved collaborations with ABB, Electrolux, Daimler-Chrysler, KUKA, iRobot, WEDA, Apple, Partek Forest, Volvo, SkogForsk, SAIC, Boeing, GM, Yujin, BMW, ...
Dr. Christensen has published more than 300 contributions across robotics, vision and artificial intelligence.
Dr. Christensen served as the Founding Chairman of EURON(1999-2006) and as the research coordinator of ECVision (2000-2004). He has lead and participated in a large number of EU projects such as VAP, CoSy, CogVis, SMART, CAMERA, EcVision, EURON, Cogniron, and Neurobotics. He served as a PI for the CCC initiative on US Robotics. He is a PI on ARL MAST CTA, the Robotics-Vo and numerous projects with industry. He was awarded the Joseph Engelberger Award 2011 and also named a Boeing Supplier of the Year 2011. He is also a fellow of AAAS.
Dr. Christensen has served / serves on the editorial board for many of the most prestigious journals in the field incl. Intl. Jour. of Robotics Research (IJRR), Autonomous Robots, Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS), IEEE Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI), and Image & Vision Computing. In addition he serves on the editorial board of the Springer STAR Series and the MIT Series on Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Agents. He is the co-editor-in-chief of Trends and Foundations in Robotics
