Curriculum vitae

Emil Harlan studied Systems Engineering (B.Sc.) at the University of Bremen with a specialization in Aerospace Engineering and completed his degree in July 2025. Since 2023, he has been working as a student assistant at BIBA, contributing to the projects KoMAR and SMART. In KoMAR, he developed a digital twin for trajectory planning, while in SMART he worked on a system for dynamic control and task allocation in collaborative assembly processes. His bachelor's thesis focused on the development of a decentralized agent system for the cooperative movement of components in modular assembly stations.

Since August 1st, 2025, Emil has been working as a technical staff member at BIBA, continuing his work in the SMART project. His main research interests lie in human-robot collaboration and interaction, as well as mobile robotics.
