Christian Meltebrink

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Meltebrink is a faculty member at the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. His research focuses on intelligent sensor systems, autonomous agricultural machinery, and safe environmental perception for outdoor robotics.

Key research areas include:

• Validation methodologies for sensor systems in variable conditions
• Humanoid test bodies for autonomous vehicle safety
• Reproducible simulation of agricultural interference factors
• Embedded systems for field robots
• Optoelectronic sensor technology

Recent publications address sensor validation for autonomous machines, with emphasis on detection reliability and environmental perception. His work integrates CCD/CMOS imaging, spectral analysis, and sensor fusion for agricultural applications.

As head of the Laboratory for Intelligent Sensor Systems (located in buildings SO and SP, Sedanstraße 26, Osnabrück), he leads projects like "Amaizeing" field robot and high-speed sensor chip development. Collaborative efforts extend to industry partners (e.g., SICK AG) and institutions like Technische Universität Berlin.

Teaching responsibilities include Physics I/II and Sensor Systems for engineering students. His laboratory delivers hands-on research opportunities in imaging technology, autonomous systems, and embedded sensor solutions.
