Felix Pancheri

Felix Pancheri is an employee at the Chair of Microtechnology and Medical Device Technology (MiMed) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) since February 2021. Holding an M.Sc. in Mechatronics and Information Technology, he actively contributes to research and teaching within the MiMed group, supervising courses including Mechatronic Device Technology (MGT), Development of mechatronic devices (SMG), and Mathematical Tools (MTT).

His research spans interdisciplinary domains with core focus areas:

• Robotics: Specializing in bio-inspired quadruped locomotion, soft robotics, and medical robotics applications
• Mechatronic Systems: Integration of mechanical, electronic, and software components for medical devices
• Advanced Manufacturing: Leveraging topology optimization and additive manufacturing for rapid prototyping
• Computational Design: Developing automated systems for custom mechanical structures

Analysis of his 2021-2024 publications reveals consistent innovation in topology-optimized robotic mechanisms, particularly for legged locomotion and gripper systems. His work demonstrates strong bio-inspiration trends, translating natural movement principles into compliant mechanical designs fabricated through 3D printing. Medical applications form a significant thread, including surgical instrument development and 3D digitization techniques for surgical planning, reflecting the MiMed group's translational research focus.

No scientific awards are documented for Felix Pancheri in available records.

As an academic contributor, he supervises key courses:

• Mechatronic Device Technology (MGT) exercises
• Development of mechatronic devices (SMG) seminars
• Mathematical Tools (MTT) instruction

While no individual grants are specified, he participates in MiMed's funded projects including IndiPrint, Arburg Automated Design, and CarrierBot, which advance automated design methodologies and robotic applications. The MiMed research environment provides state-of-the-art facilities for robotics prototyping, medical device development, and additive manufacturing, supporting his work on bio-inspired mechanisms and surgical robotics systems with strong industry-academia collaboration.
