return to top of page

Stefan Stiene recieved the "Intevation-Award for achievement in Free Software 2007/2008" at the University of Osnabrück/Germany on February, 15th 2008.

Mr. Stiene developed a Free Software, which afford to develop and test robot control software in conjunction with the Free simulation framework "USARSim" and the software development tool "Player".

USARSim and Player are both Free Software, which are used (independently) about the world in the robot research. The solution of Mr. Stiene is a contribution to connect both worlds and to strengthen the position of Free Software in the robot research.

Stefan Stiene has finished his master study "physics with computer science" at the University of Osnabrück in January 2006. Now he works on the topic "knowledge-based systems" as scientific assistant in the faculty computer science.
