Ambient Air Pollution Prediction

from: Hannes Gelbhardt  (Universität Bremen)
Ambient air pollution is well known to affect humans and the environment severely. Some primary sources of air pollution are industrial processes, motorized traffic, wildfires, and volcanic activities. Estimating future air pollution concentrations can lower the effects on humans and the environment...

Exposé
Long-term autonomous robotic missions, especially in isolated environments, have to cope with various challenges, e.g., limited possibilities for maintenance or recovery in case of failure. Better adaptation of the robot to its environment is therefore the first step towards a more robust behavioura...

Kolloquium
Bei der Entwicklung von Exoskeletten stellt die Konstruktion der mechanischen Interfaces - also der Anbindungen zwischen Person und System - eine besondere Herausforderung dar. Für eine präzise Kraftübertragung müssen Relativbewegungen zwischen Person und Exoskelett möglichst unterbunden werden. Gle...

Mechatronic Design and Control of an Underactuated Three-link Brachiation Robot

from: Grama Srinivas Shourie  (École Centrale de Nantes, Nantes, France)
Brachiation is a way of moving from place to place by swinging between branches of trees, employed by monkeys (mostly gibbons), using only their arms. During brachiation, if the next branch is far away such that the gibbon is expected to have a dynamic free flight phase in its motion, this fast moti...

Robust Co-design for Underactuated Systems

from: Federico Girlanda  (University of Padua)
An approach to obtain an optimal behaviour of a system to achieve a specific task is via an interplay between trajectory optimization, stabilization and design optimization. To find a structured way to deal with this co-optimization is the main objective of the thesis work. The sim-to-real gap repre...

Kolloquium
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the structural survivability of an existing Rover model (Coyote III) for use in space. A Rover experiences various structural loads throughout the course of the mission. These include the intense vibration experienced during the rocket launch, the lunar landi...

Emotional regulation and coping in assistive/social robots

from: Janssen, Ayden  (Universität Bremen)
While a simple system modeling emotions can make a robot show believable emotions, it can also exhibit socially questionable or unacceptable emotions, like greeting a visitor while being visibly angry. Humans solve this problem by regulating their emotions with regard to the current situation and co...

2. M.Sc. Vortrag

 -  01:30 pm
Exposé
The importance of legged robots is emphasized, as legged robot locomotion allows highly precise performance and wide spectrum of application, even in rough, unstructured terrain. However, the present challenges in legged robot locomotion are the trade-off between versatility and robustness, and the ...
