Underwater inspection of man made objects and mapping of marine habitats would greatly benefit from accurate underwater 3D sensing. To improve the resolution and robustness of camera or sonar based 3D reconstructions a new combined method is proposed fusing Structure from Motion with Structured Ligh…

Robotic manipulators have been playing an important role in human spaceflight activities since the 1980s. Nevertheless, an unmanned and completely autonomous robotic system, capable of capturing and manipulating a target has yet to become reality, despite several successfuldemonstration missions, su…

Whole body control (WBC) is a robot control method that targets robotic systems with many degrees of freedom and tasks with multiple, concurrent objectives in dynamically changing environments. In WBC, robot tasks are described by combinations of simple, generic task descriptors, which are usually s…

The central idea of this research is to formalize how and why an Internal complex Simulation (IS) is useful in the context of autonomous robotics. Some cognitive scientists have researched on the idea of the brain being an internal simulator to explain thinking [1, 2]. This research aims to formally…

Das Ziel des Vortrages ist die Vorstellung von Fa. Robert Bosch GmbH als Arbeitgeber für Studenten, Direkteinstieg und Post-Docs, sowie eine Präsentation über die Tätigkeitsfelder bei Fa. Robert Bosch GmbH.

The main goal of the project is the development of generic robot software components for robotic manipulation as well as the learning of new situation-specific behaviours both for its use in robotic manipulators of different morphology. A set of generic behaviour templates are stored on the robot fo…

ScienceOpen is a research and publishing network that aims to break some publishing paradigms. It is a freely accessible online platform to share and evaluate scientific information. Manuscripts submitted to ScienceOpen are published open access and evaluated afterwards, in a fully transparent Post-…

Fragile ecosystems are increasingly found near areas of hydrocarbon and mariculture activities. These activities can impinge on the environmental integrity of these marine areas. Countries have developed regulatory frameworks to ensure that the environmental conditions of the surrounding environment…

The design of humanoid robots is challenging task. Unlike industrial manipulators that operate in well defined conditions, humanoid robots are expected to operate in highly unstructured and dynamic environments, eventually populated by human co-workers. Therefore defining a comprehensive set of spec…
