Author Information

After completing his mechanical engineering studies at RWTH Aachen University in 1984, Prof. Corves worked as an assistant lecturer also at RWTH Aachen University, where received his doctorate in 1989. His thesis dealt with the kinematics and dynamics of industrial robots within a Collaborative Research Centre funded by the prestigious German Research Foundation. After working at RWTH Aachen University as a Postdoc in the position of Chief-Engineer until 1991, he took a research and development position in industry in the field of special machine construction in Germany and Switzerland. In 2000, he was appointed university professor and director of the Institute for Mechanism Science, Machine Dynamics and Robotics at RWTH Aachen University, where his teaching and research is concentrating on the aforementioned institute topics. Prof. Corves has lead numerous national and European research activities such as Bots2ReC with more than 400 publications containing books, journal and conference papers covering different topics such as robotics, cam mechanism, glass machinery, pneumatic mechanisms, computer-aided graphical analysis and synthesis in mechanism theory, mechatronic development and machine design strategy. Since 1987 Prof. Corves is member of the German Association of Mechanical Engineers (VDI), where he holds positions as the chairman of the VDI-Scientific Board on ""Gears, Mechanisms and Machine Elements"", the chairman of the VDI Committee ""Mechanisms for handling and manipulation"" and member of the VDI Board of the Society of Process and Product Design. Additionally he is member of the German Society of Glass Technology (DGG), where he serves as member of the DGG Board of Directors and is engaged in the DGG technical committee FA IV ""Glass forming technology and quality assurance"". Additionally he acts as the National Chair of the German section of the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science (IFToMM) where he is also member of the Technical Committee ""Linkages & Mechanical Controls"" and the Permanent Commission for the History of Mechanism and Machine Science. In 2013 Prof. Corves received the Honorary Doctorate from Polytechnic University of Timisoara, Romania and in 2017 the Medal of Honor of the VDI. After completing his mechanical engineering studies at Leibniz University Hannover in 1989, Prof. Hüsing worked as an assistant lecturer at RWTH Aachen University, where he received his doctorate in 1995.His thesis dealt with tolerance analysis and syntheses of linkages. After his doctoral thesis, he worked at RWTH Aachen University as a Postdoc in the position of Chief-Engineer, senior lecturer and senior research associate. Since 2015, he is professor at the RWTH Aachen and deputy head of the Institute of Mechanism Theory, Machine Dynamics and Robotics. Prof. Hüsing has led many national and international research projects. He had initiated and co-led the European research project Bots2ReC. He has published about 200 papers on kinematics, dynamics and robotics in conferences, books and journals.
