Wolfram Burgard Biography

Wolfram Burgard is one of the most popular and richest Computer Scientist who was born on February 8, 1961 in Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Wolfram Burgard (born 1961 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany) is the name of a German roboticist from Germany. He is a full professor at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat Freiburg where he heads the Laboratory for Autonomous Intelligent Systems. He is well-known for his major contribution to the simultanously localization and mapping (SLAM) problem in addition to a myriad of other contributions to robotics.

Wolfram Burgard was the supervisor of many PhD student in his laboratory for Autonomous Intelligent Systems, namely Maren Bennewitz (2004), Dirk Haehnel (2005), Cyrill Stachniss (2006), Rudolph Triebel (2007) and Oscar Martinez Mozos (2008), Patrick Pfaff (2008) along with Christian Plagemann (2008), Jurgen Sturm (2011) Daniel Meyer-Delius di Vasto (2011), Slawomir Grzonka (2011), Thilo Grundmann (2012), Kai Wurm (2012), Axel Rottmann (2012), Barbara Frank (2013), Rainer Kummerle (2013), Bastian Steder (2013), Jorg Muller (2013) Dominik Joho (2013), Boris Lau (2013), Maximilian Beinhofer (2014).

Wolfram Burgard has the 2009 Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, the most prestigious German research prize. He has furthermore received seven best paper awards from outstanding conferences. He also became a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society.

Alongside his colleagues, Wolfram Burgard developed numerous probabilistic strategies for mobility robots’ navigation. It includes Markov localization which is a probabilistic method of mobile localization that can effectively monitor the position of a mobile machine, determine its location when it begins without prior knowledge of it and even recover from failures in localization. The year 1999 saw Frank Dellaert, Dieter Fox, Sebastian Thrun, and Wolfram Burgard came up with Monte Carlo localization, a probabilistic method of mobile robot localization founded upon particle filtering.
