Robert Böhme is the leader of the "Part-Time Scientists", one of the participating teams of the "Google Lunar X-Prize". The "Lunar X-Prize" is an international challenge to develop and operate a real mission to land a rover on the moon. Arrived to the surface of the moon the rover is supposed to acc…

Die Schifffahrt gilt technologisch als nicht progressiv und der Tradition verpflichtet. Der Vortrag bietet einen Streifzug durch die Welt des Seetransports an Bord, und an Land. Eine Kurzvorstellung der Kernprozesse soll die Möglichkeit zur Diskussion über vorhandene Automatisierungspotenziale eröff…
The I4Copter (quadrocopter) project started as an evaluation and educational platform for application domains for which it is intended to be a creditable demonstrator for safety-critical mission scenarios.
Beyond computer science, a quadrocopter is a physically highly complex system and the buildin…

In this talk some of the modular robots we have developed in cooperation with the TAMS group from the University of Hamburg are shown and live demonstrations will be performed. Our research is focused on the locomotion capabilities of the 1D topology modular robots, like caterpillar, snakes and so o…
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:
