Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohannes Betz is an Assistant Professor at TUM leading the Autonomous Vehicle Systems Lab, with nine years of experience in algorithmic robot motion planning, control, and learning for safety-critical autonomy. He develops adaptive dynamic path-planning and decision-making under uncertainty for multi-agent environments and validates methods on real robotic platforms, blending theory with hands-on system integration. His background spans postdoctoral research at UPenn and extensive industry-linked work at TUM on vehicle dynamics, embedded systems, and motorsport autonomy (Roborace & Indy Autonomous Challenge). Johannes pairs a Dr.-Ing. in automotive technology with an M.A. in philosophy, reflecting a rare combination of technical rigor and attention to ethical/ conceptual aspects of trustworthy autonomy. Based in Munich, he actively seeks collaboration to translate provable algorithms into deployed, high-integrity robotic systems.
