Biography

Tamim Asfour (Senior Member, IEEE) received the diploma degree in electrical engineering and the Ph.D. degree in computer science from University of Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1994, and 2003, respectively.
He is a Professor with the Institute for Anthropomatics and Robotics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany, where he holds the Chair of Humanoid Robotics Systems and is the Head of the High Performance Humanoid Technologies Lab. He is the developer and the leader of the development team of the ARMAR humanoid robot family. His research interests include 24/7 humanoid robotics. Specifically, he studies the mechanoinformatics of humanoids as the synergetic integration of informatics, artificial intelligence, and mechatronics into complete humanoid robot systems, which are able to perform versatile tasks in real world.
