Enhancement and Evaluation of an AUV's Docking Station Detection with Deep-Learning Based Object-Detection

from: Faraz Ahmad  (Constructor University)
Autonomous docking for underwater vehicles, especially locating the docking station, presents significant challenges for deploying sub-sea resident AUVs in exploration and monitoring tasks. To extend a fiducial marker-based docking station detection,  use of the state-of-the-art object detectio…

Meta-Reinforcement Learning for Enhanced Generalization in Robotics

from: Lennart Heinbokel  (Universität Bremen)
This thesis aims to investigate the use of meta-reinforcement learning (meta-RL) to enhance sample efficiency in robotic systems, enabling agents to adapt to unseen tasks with fewer interactions. By employing contextual Markov Decision Processes (cMDPs) to formalize task variability, the study offer…

Kolloquium

Performance Evaluation of Quadratic Programming Solvers for Legged Robots on different Computer Architectures

from: Jakob Middelberg  (Universität Bremen)
In the past decade, the development of dynamic legged robots has gained significant traction and has produced remarkable results. Modern bipeds and quadrupeds are able to traverse difficult terrain while using various gaits and movements like walking, trotting, or jumping. Controlling those robotic …

from: Hannah Isermann  (Universität Bielefeld)
Colloquium
 -  01:00 pm
Kolloquium

Real-time Dynamic Gesture Recognition for Human-Robot Collaboration

from: Shefali Dewangan  (Universität Bremen)
The primary goal of the thesis is to enhance human-robot collaboration by addressing the challenge of real-time dynamic gesture recognition. This initiative is a significant part of the ROMATRIS project, funded by THW at the DFKI, and the focus of the thesis is on the identification and real-time in…

Kolloquium

Examining the Potential of VVAD-LRS3: A Comprehensive Cross-Comparison throughout State-of-the-Art VVAD Data Sets

from: Karim Zanaty  (Rushford Business School)
Reliable recognition of people's gestures and mimics is crucial to a natural and intuitive interaction between robots (machines) and humans. Voice Activity Detection (VAD) may play a major role in this context. VAD algorithms detect if the person of interest is currently speaking or not. This can be…
 -  11:15 am
Kolloquium

Data driven modeling and optimal manipulator control

from: Adriano del Río Fernandez  (École Centrale de Nantes)
In the field of optimal control linear systems are generally desirable. In the case of model predictive control the benefit of a linear system representation is significant, as it implies convexity of the optimization problem and global optimality for every solution. In this context very interesting…
 -  01:00 pm
Kolloquium

Robot state estimation using synthetic RGB images

from: Vasantakumaar, Naren  (Universität Bremen)
This thesis investigates the state estimation of a multi-joint object such as an excavator, by predicting the joint angles using synthetic RGB images as input. The research is to use RGB camera as an economical alternative to expensive retrofitting sensors for state estimation task of a manipulator.…
 -  12:00 pm
Kolloquium

Exploration via Constructive Disagreement: Diversity in Ensemble-based Behavior Learning using Niching Migratory Multi-Swarm Optimization

from: Antonia Holsten  (Universität Bremen)
The pursuit of robotic autonomy is a long-standing ambition motivated by the need for robots to operate independently in dynamic and complex environments, such as space exploration and deep-sea missions. This thesis addresses the simulation-to-reality problem, where the transfer of robotic behaviors…
 -  03:00 pm
Exposé

Graph-based Projected Entangled-Pair State with GPU Acceleration

from: Alexander Krug  (Universität Bremen)
Quantum algorithms promise to provide speedups or even solutions to previously unfeasible problems. As quantum computing matures, benchmarks are needed as a standardized method to evaluate and compare different quantum computing platforms. Hamiltonian evolution serves as a well studied problem setti…
