	ware ergonomics.

E. D. Dickmanns studied aerospace engineering at the RWTH Aachen from 1956-1961 and control engineering at Princeton University, NJ from 1964-1965. From 1961–1975 he was a researcher with the German Aerospace Research Organisation DFVLR. He received his PhD in engineering from RWTH Aachen in 1969 and was a Post-doctoral Research Associate with NASA at the MSFC in Huntsville, AL, U.S. Since 1975 he has been full profes-sor for control engineering at the University of the Fed-eral Armed Forces of Germany, Munich (UniBwM), De-partment of Aero-Space Technology. Founder of the In-stitut für Systemdynamik und Flugmechanik (ISF) He was

visiting professor at the California Institute of Technology in spring 1996 and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in fall 1998. His research sub-jects include dynamic machine vision; applications to road vehicle guidance, navigation of autonomously guided vehicles on the factory floor, landing ap-proach of aircraft, landmark navigation for helicopters, and robotics in space.

	Siegbert Drüe received his diploma and doctoral de-gree in electrical engineering from the University of Paderborn in 1983 and 1988. Since 1988 he has been Akademischer Oberrat at the Department of Electrical
	Engineering, University of Paderborn.	His research in-
