In this talk, I will present how the navigation and planning AG worked until now, and the subjects that have been discussed. I will focus on the AG ongoing work: to define a common environment representation that is suitable for all the projects that need such a component.

In this talk we will give an overview of our results as a Locomotion and Mobility workgroup. We will discuss important aspects of robot design and control regarding the mobility of our systems. Multiple examples and iterations of robot foot and leg designs will be presented. We will also describe ho…

This talk will give an overview of simulation methods and simulation environments which until now have been discussed in the AG Simulation. In particular, we talk about requirements and improvements of our simulation environments to be able to well support simulation works in the DFKI ongoing and fu…

In diesem halbstündigen Talk wird ein Überblick über die Ergebnisse der Arbeitsgruppe Mechanical Design gegeben. Besonderen Wert legen wir auf das zusammengetragene Wissen, daß in Form des AG-Wikis, einer eBook-Bibliothek und Datei-Archiven auf dem Server nicht nur für AG-Mitglieder nützlich ist.

The work group Manipulation and Motion Control gives an overview about her work since May 2008. Therefore the following topics will be presented: PerceptionInteraction Control & Force OperationsActuation Systems & Kinematic SynthesisKinematics & DynamicsGrasping & DisengagingTraject…

In einem kurzen Abriss werden auf der Grundlage meiner Studienarbeit Verknüpfungen und wissenschaftlicher Kontext meiner Diplomarbeit zu Schädigungsuntersuchungen am Ohr aufgezeigt. Als Resultat entsteht die Finite-Elemente Darstellung mechanischer Belastungseinflüsse auf dieses Organ. Die Auseinset…

In dem Vortrag wird eine kurze Einführung zur Geschichte der Zeitmessung gegegeben und auf die Entwicklung sowie den Aufbau von mechanischen Uhrwerken eingegangen. Dieses Feld wird eingegrenzt auf die Betrachtung von kleinen Kalibern, sprich Arm- und Taschenuhren, speziell auf das Herz dieser, das G…

Magnet resonance imaging (MRI) is based on the absorption and emission of energy in the radio frequency band of the electromagnetic spectrum. The information about the spins alignment and realignment to the magnetic field as well as the precession frequency of spins is reconstructed using the 3D-Fou…

Small ASC´s (Autonomous Surface Craft) can become cheap and reliable tools for monitoring sea traffic and environment. A few examples will be presented for uses, mission control and swarm deployment.

The increased capabilities of robotic vehicles to handle in autonomous or tele-operated way complex tasks have been demonstrated impressively at recent competitions, like the "Grand Challenge" in USA (2004, 2005, 2007) or at ELROB in Europe (2006, 2007). The techniques used for these robot…
