Peter Nauth

Prof. Dr. Peter Nauth is a Professor for Computer Engineering and Robotics at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, where he has served since 1998. He is a key member of the FUTURE AGING Research Center, focusing on autonomous mobile assistance robots to enhance independent living for the elderly and those requiring assistance.

His research spans autonomous navigation in unstructured environments, robot manipulation, intelligent sensors and image processing, machine learning for decision systems, and human-robot interaction. These areas drive his development of systems that independently perform tasks set by users, enabling greater autonomy in daily life.

Analysis of his publications from 2001 to 2009 reveals a strong emphasis on practical assistive robotics, particularly in sensor fusion (combining visual and auditory data), humanoid robot control for goal achievement, and embedded intelligent systems for real-time operation in assistive contexts.

Prof. Nauth directs the Laboratory for Autonomous Systems and serves as the international representative for electrical engineering courses. His work integrates closely with the FUTURE AGING Research Center, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration on aging and technology solutions.
