The NiedersachsenMetall Foundation has announced that Hendrik Schäfke will be honored with the 2024 Award in recognition of his outstanding scientific achievements during his master’s thesis.
The Award of the NiedersachsenMetall Foundation is presented annually to young talents in science and research who significantly shape the future of the metal and electrical industries through innovative approaches and exceptional research results. Hendrik Schäfke impressed the jury with his master’s thesis on learning-based model predictive control (MPC) using recurrent neural networks for a soft robot. This approach combines the strengths of classical control methods with learning-based techniques, demonstrating a synergistic effect.
