The goal of the project CSurvey is the development of a semi-autonomous inspection unit which can be mounted on underwater vehicles and which provides the ability to detect anomalies at underwater structures as well as ship hulls. The CSurvey head is an integrated System which has its own intelligen…
The inspection of marine vessels is currently performed manually. Inspectors use sensors (e.g. cameras, devices for non-destructive testing) to detect damaged areas, cracks, and corrosion in large cargo holds, tanks, and other parts of a ship. Due to the size and complex geometry of most ships, ship…

ROSA developed and evaluated a concept for the automated sorting of municipal bulk wastes and other large and heavy wastes (e.g. construction wastes). This concept will be the basis for a more efficient sorting of bulky wastes and a better resource recovery in this sector.
The Intelligent Mobility project started in 2009 to develop a complete outdoor navigation layer for space exploration. Todays talk will outline the main research directions of the project, detail the architecture that iMoby developed and present the current project results.
Footwear industry in Europe is one of the most important sectors in terms of the number of people employed. A large part of the production of such shoes is still handcrafted. One of the main difficulties to automate this area is the high number of products variants due to a large number of models, s…
Aim of the project iStruct is the development of a robotic system as well as of biologically inspired structural components which, if applied on the robotic system, effectively improve the locomotion and mobility characteristics. In order to achieve this goal, an improved perception of the environme…
In this talk we will present an efficient approach to path planning for multiple agents during large-scale map deformation (ie. during SLAM). The problem of planning using dense data during large-scale map deformation is addressed by using a hybrid metric-topological planner that maintains locally c…

The Intelligent Integration of Electric Mobility project covers the acquisition, organization and processing of data from electric mobility sources such as run-time recordings of electric cars.
Such data is at present mainly collected by the conduction of different fleet trials as from individual t…

In this Brown-Bag-Talk we will present the current state of the SeeGrip project from the mechanical
perspective as well as the current work on the sensor processing.
The goal of the SeeGrip project is the development of an underwater manipulator which is able to perform form- and force-closed objec…
In the project Virtual Crater, a real-time capable virtual lunar testbed to plan, program and evaluate missions of lunar surface exploration is developed. It also supports the presentation of new development concepts. An effective simulation framework to optimize system parameters by precisely model…
