معرفی
Volker Dürr is a Professor of Biological Cybernetics at Bielefeld University, Faculty of Biology, and a member of the Center for Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC). His work focuses on sensory control of locomotion, active tactile sensing in insects, and biomimetic modeling of movement systems.
- Education: Habilitation in Zoology (University of Cologne, 2008; Bielefeld, 2005), PhD in Biology (Bielefeld, 1998), Diploma in Biology (Tübingen, 1994)
- Academic Career: Professor at Bielefeld (2009-present), Junior Research Group Leader (University of Cologne, 2007-2009), Research Assistant (Bielefeld, 1998-2006)
His research investigates how insects use antennal mechanosensory systems and proprioception to control locomotion in complex environments. Key themes include goal-directed movements, sensorimotor integration, and biomimetic robotics.
Publications emphasize tactile sensing (15/23 articles), neural control of movement (9/23), biomechanical modeling (7/23), and cross-species locomotion analysis (4/23). Recent work explores virtual reality paradigms for locomotion studies and spiking neural networks for proprioceptive modeling.
