Curriculum vitae

Dr.-Ing. Christoph Petzoldt has been the head of the Robotics and Automation department at the Bremen Institute for Production and Logistics (BIBA) since 2020. He studied Systems Engineering at the University of Bremen until 2017 and completed his doctorate there in 2025 in the field of human-robot collaboration in assembly. Until 2019, he worked at the University of Bremen in the field of machine learning and conducted research on learning robotic skills through human demonstration. Since then, Dr. Petzoldt has been working at BIBA and leading R&D projects on automation and human-technology interaction in production and logistics. His research focuses on intelligent robot systems robotic systems, assistance systems, autonomous transport systems and exoskeletons. In 2024, he started lecturing on technical logistics at the University of Bremen.
