pAGe 48 dSpACe’S 20TH ANNIveRSARY Anniversary of an Idea Twenty Years of Continuous Success
A conversation with Dr. Herbert Hanselmann: To mark dSPACE’s 20th anniversary, the company’s founder and president describes how an idea became an internationally successful company. Dr. Hanselmann, before we talk about the early days of dSPACE, could you tell us how you became interested in control engineering? When I was 16, I read an article about cybernetics. I didn’t understand everything, but the article fascinated me and sparked my interest in this subject. When I decided which subject to study at the university, I chose electrical engineering, and from there it was almost inevitable that I would specialize in control engineering. I also had a side job developing controls for the machine tools of a small neighborhood company. What events encouraged you to found the dSPACE company? While I was still working on finalizing my doctoral thesis at Karlsruhe University, I was approached by a distinguished researcher working at MercedesBenz, Joachim Lückel. He had been granted a professorship at the University of Paderborn, with the task of setting up a completely new and novel institute. I had really planned to go into industry, but this project was too interesting to say no. The main objective was to implement something that was known as “modern control engineering”, using relatively fast mechanical systems. In other words, mechatronics. Just one small thing was missing: We didn’t have any computers that were fast enough to calculate the higherorder control functions in real time. In 1981, partly working at home like a hobbyist, I constructed an Intel kit for a fairly exotic analogdigital signal processor. You couldn’t expect mechanical engineers to do the required optimal microcode program pAGe 49
