John Matthew Hollerbach is a professor of computer science and research professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Utah. He is the editor of The International Journal of Robotics Research, a Senior Editor of Presence: Teleoperators & Virtual Environments, and a Governing Board member of the electronic journal Haptics-e.

Early life and education

Hollerbach was born in

displacement camp. He and his family lived in a priest's attic in Germany for five years before emigrating to Detroit as refugees.[1]

He received his

PhD
from MIT in 1978.

Career

Following his PhD, Hollerbach continued at MIT as a research scientist in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to work on theories of human movement and control and adapting these theories to robotics, and officially joined the faculty in 1982.

Year of the Robot

In 1981 Hollerbach co-founded the Year of the Robot program at the

International Journal of Robotics Research and the International Symposium of Robotics Research.[1]

Utah/MIT Dexterous Hand

As part of the Year of Robotics program, Hollerbach collaborated with

multi-agent control, teleoperation, and apprenticeship learning.[9]

Medical robotics

In 1989 Hollerbach left MIT and accepted a

MIT to start a group in bioinstrumentation and Hollerbach joined the faculty at the University of Utah to develop medical robotics. At Utah, he developed the TreadPort Active Wind Tunnel, an immersive virtual environment that mimics the haptic properties of walking using sensory cues to aid in rehabilitation.[10]

Awards

  • Hierarchical Shape Descriptions of Objects by Selection and Modification of Prototypes (Scientiæ Magister thesis), The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge MA, AI-TR-346 of 1976. [The thesis offers (first) a theory of block-world descriptions focused on protrusions and indentations, and (second) a theory of generalized cylinder descriptions specialized to Greek vases.]
