Die InnoWi GmbH begleitet als Patent- und Vermarktungsagentur die Erfindungen aus den Hochschulen und Instituten in Bremen und Nord-West-Niedersachsen von der Idee bis zur Markteinführung. Unter anderem prüft die InnoWi, ob zu einer Erfindung die Anmeldung von Schutzrechten möglich und auch sinnvoll…

In the recent past, mobile robots played an important role in the field of extraterrestrial surface exploration. Unfortunately, the currently available space exploration rovers do not provide the necessary mobility to reach scientifically interesting places in rough and steep terrain like boulder fi…

Vector fields are common products of physics simulations. Simulations over black-oil reservoirs, for instance, can generate oil, water and gas flow data. For better understanding of such data, it is interesting to use a visualization technique that allows better identification of both local characte…

Using the earth magnetic field has a very long history in navigation.In most cases, magnetic disturbances are unwanted noise and there exist several techniques trying to compensate these disturbances. This talk will give an introduction into the inverse way: not trying to compensate, but make use of…

The underwater environment is a very challenging area for humans and is hardly discovered compared with terrestrial areas. In the recent years, more and more tasks are performed by autonomous underwater vehicles helping to effectively map the underwater area. Nevertheless, there are still enormous l…

SICK Sensor Intelligence. Vorstellung von Produkten, Lösungen und Applikationen aus den Bereichen Vision-Systeme sowie Mess- und Detektionslösungen.

Brain Computer Interfaces and Brain Reading (BR) are systems to get insights into the human mind by processing psychophysiological data. They can be used to control devices, like e.g. robots, or augment operator support systems. One essential requirement for future BR systems is mobility, which make…

Position-controlled robots have been widely used in industrial area. However, position control is usually based on simple kinematic models which cannot compensate for the dynamics of the robot.  Thus, joint torque control based on a dynamic model are preferred for most of research robots and fo…

This BBT presents the EU funded project smartbot. The main goal of the project is to integrate techniques from robotic research into applications in agriculture, shipbuilding and small-scale industrial production. DFKI-RIC is involved in the sub-projects AgroBot (agriculture) and RoboShip (shipbuild…

In the scope of a project work in the master`s program "Locomotion in fluids" at the Hochschule Bremen, a forming optimization of the AVALON was carried out in cooperation with the DFKI. To this end, the AVALON was abstracted into a model whose different, bionically inspired frontal and re…
