In the domain of embedded and cyber-physical systems there is a trend to more and more powerful ECUs (Electronic Control Units) and the development of sophisticated services (e.g., advanced driver-assistance features in the automobile sector) on top of them. In addition, there is an enormous cost pr…

The project eConceptCar is attempting the development of an intelligent and efficient electric car which can change its form morphologically and comes with modular components. Thereby, the vehicle will be in a position to differentiate between different drive modes and to adjust the contour of the v…

VI-Bot integrated approaches from the areas of robotics, neurosciences and human-machine interaction into an innovative system designed for remote control of robotic systems. A novel exoskeleton with integrated passive safety, using adaptive and behaviour-predicting operator monitoring by means of o…

Ballast water is used to stabilize partially loaded or empty ships on the open sea. When needed, ocean or port water is pumped into special ballast water tanks (BWTs) to increase the mass of a ship. Because ocean water is typically contaminated with algae, plankton and other organisms, and due to th…

The aim of the project "SpaceClimber" is the development of a biologically inspired, energy-efficient, and adaptively free-climbing robot to provide mobility in steep and unstructured terrain. Regions, such as rock fields, which require highly mobile systems in order to carry out in-situ examinatio…

We will give a brief introduction into the project "IMMI".The aim of project "IMMI" is the development of key technologies that allow adaptive real-time brain reading (BR). Essentially, BR in humans comprises the objectives of estimation of mental states and the prediction of behavior, based on anal…

Since 70s when the NASA started to research on Flexible Robots, the flexible manipulators have been around the robotics community. Although, Flexible manipulators have found applications only in space applications, like the Canadarm and the Space Station Remote Manipulator System, or SSRMS. Industr…

The project RIMRES uses a multi-robot system with an ability to perform reconfiguration for increase fault tolerance. The robotic system will not operate completely autonomously, but be monitored and (semi-)supervised by human operators from a mission control center. To achieve its goals RIMRES de…

In RIMRES, a wheeled rover, a legged scout and several immobile payload units are developed. The systems will work together in a tightly coupled fashion. Therefore, an electro mechanical interface is developed to facilitate the connection of the systems. For operation of the systems, a software fram…

Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) is a classification and pattern recognition framework modeled on the neocortex. One of the features that makes this framework different from others is its use of "time as a supervisor" to create invariant representations. For this reason, HTM models are trained wit…
