These systems are used to support various teaching activities in the field of robotics, which are conducted in cooperation with the University of Bremen. Based on the widely used TurtleBot 2 platform, a small fleet of 7 systems has been built to accommodate different application scenarios.

Central topics in the activities pursued so far:
    - perception
    - manipulation
    - navigation
    - behavioral adaptation
    - human-machine interaction
    - long-term autonomy

Specific application examples include the practical use of reinforcement learning for generating navigation movements, gesture-based remote control, and various interaction scenarios, some involving face recognition, such as a mail delivery system or providing information via the integrated touch display.

Depending on the specific use case, the systems are equipped with manipulators, various sensors and computing resources.
