Visitekaartje

Dr. Wesley Roozing is an assistant professor at the Robotics and Mechatronics (RaM) group at the University of Twente, The Netherlands. He received his PhD degree from the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in 2018 and was a visiting student at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics (ACFR).

He is chair of the euRobotics Topic Group on Mechatronics, fostering interactions between academic, industrial, and other practitioners in the field of mechatronics. He has served on the programme committee of the European Robotics Forum since 2021, and as associate editor for IROS and BioRob since 2020 and 2023, respectively. He is currently serving as Exhibition & Local Chair for ICRA@40, the 40th Anniversary of the IEEE Conference on Robotics and Automation, to take place in Rotterdam in September 2024.

He is participating in national and international projects as local coordinator and teaching several graduate and undergraduate courses on energy-based modelling and control of mechatronic systems. He also actively contributes to development of the robotics programme, is a programme mentor for MSc students, and is on the examination board of the programme.

His main research interests include (compliant) actuation and their control, co-design for mechatronic systems, motors and gearing, mechanism design, bio-inspired and biarticulated actuation, and energy-based modelling and control methods for safety in robotics. He organised several highly attended workshops on these topics at international conferences. His research combines the latest developments in electric motors with innovative gearing concepts, compliance, co-design, and optimal control, with the aim of achieving high-performance robots capable of athletic feats such as running, jumping, and carrying. His work has been published in high-quality robotics publications including IJRR, T-MECH, RA-L, ICRA, IROS, and others, and received a honourable mention for the RA-L best paper award in 2021.
