How Nvidia is accelerating with support of our Ecosystem the development of AD?

Robot control based on constrained optimization is a powerful method to control complex robotic tasks based on constraints. The idea is to break down the overall control problem into simultaneously running subtasks and merge them into a coherent robot control signal using constrained optmization. De…

This talk gives an overview on the preparations and conduction of the field trials in Utah, USA in October and November 2016. This includes the preparation of customs documents (Carnet A.T.A), "behind-the-scenes" infos and conducted experiments as well as public outreach with scientists an…

This brownbag talk is composed of two separated parts. In the first part, the current state of the tool CAD-2-SIM is outlined: the program is capable of generating mechanism specifications programmatically in several formats. Since the initial implementation of CAD-2-SIM has taken place some time a…

The talk summarizes the results of the project HySociaTea (Hybrid Social Teams for Long-Term  Collaboration in Cyber-Physical Environments), which realizes and examines the collaboration of technological augmented humans with autonomous robots, virtual characters and softbots, who work together…

Der Vortrag stellt die Ergebnisse des Vorhabens BesMan dar. Des Gesamtzieldes Vorhabens BesMan war die Entwicklung von Verfahren zur ein- undzweiarmigen Manipulation und zum Erlernen neuer, situationsspezifischerVerhaltensweisen mittels einer maschinellen Lernplattform.  In den vergangenen Jahr…

Robotic systems are complex mechatronic systems as they combine the domains of mechanical and electrical engineering as well as the discipline of computer science and control theory in a synergetic manner. These characteristics make the robotic domain an intriguing and fascinating field, which easi…

The European Robotics League (ERL) is a novel European-based common framework for robotics competitions in the fields of Industrial Robots (ERL Industrial Robots), Service Robots (ERL Service Robots) and Emergency Robots (ERL Emergency Robots). The ERL builds on the success of the European funded FP…

System-level design of an embedded system - to which a robot can be counted to - takes into account the whole structure of the system during the specification and realization of applications.In other areas, like the digital signal processing community, system-level design is a well-established metho…

While serial robots are known for their versatility in applications, larger workspace, simpler modeling and control, they have certain disadvantages like limited precision, lower stiffness and poor dynamic characteristics in general. A parallel robot can offer higher stiffness, speed, accuracy and p…
