Outdoor navigation in uneven terrain using learning methods

from: Malika Helapita  (Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg (HBRS))
The challenge of robot navigation in uneven outdoor environments is demanding but important application for outdoor mobile robots. Classical geometric approaches have been employed to solve this problem but with limited success. When the terrain becomes exceedingly irregular or if there are tall gra…

Battery Simulation for the Robotic Exploration of Lunar Lava Tubes.

from: Rutendo Mutambara  (Constructor University)
Robotic systems need energy for general navigation and control of sensors and actuators, therefore it is important to monitor the system’s energy level for optimum performance. In addition, it is desirable to have the possibility of estimating the energy consumed by certain robotic operations given …

Control Strategies for a Rimless Wheel Micro-Rover

from: Dennis Schlee  (TU Darmstadt)
Rimless wheeled robots are a hybrid variant of traditionally wheeled and legged robots. These hybrid systems combine the benefits of both approaches, such as efficient power demands and good terrain traversability. However, the simplicity of the design of the rimless wheel has the disadvantage of li…

Kinetostatic Analysis of a 6-RUS Parallel Continuum Robot

from: Vinayvivian Pedrick Rodrigues  (RWTH Aachen)
Continuum manipulators have historically been considered serial devices, perhaps because theytypically have a long slender form, and the dominant geometric modeling paradigm is constant curvature arc segments tangentially connected in series. However, as some researchers have noted, many continuum d…

Control of Dynamic Parkour Motions for a hopping leg on a Broomstick

from: Maximilian Albracht  (FH Aachen)
As legged locomotion in nature is very dynamic and rich, this elegant art of motion should also be exploited by robots to enable efficient and unrestricted locomotion even on difficult terrain. To attain animal-like dynamic motions for underactuated robots, careful consideration and exploitation of …

Reinforcement Learning-based Control for Swing-up and Stabilization of an Underactuated Double Pendulum System

from: Chi Zhang  (Technische Universität München)
The challenge of controlling nonlinear systems has sparked significant interest within the research community. In particular, reinforcement learning-based control methods present promising advantages for addressing nonlinear control challenges, including reduced reliance on detailed system models an…

Learning State Transition Functions of a Hydraulic Excavator using Data Driven Deep Learning

from: Jayanth Somashekaraiah  (Universität Bremen)
In this thesis, a neural network model is trained to learn the state transition function of a hydraulic excavator arm or a crane using data driven approach. The excavator arm or crane exhibits highly non linear behaviour due to hydraulic coupling between its actuators, non linearities in valves, par…

Detection and Autonomous Following of Divers of Divers Utilizing Forward Looking Sonar

from: Samin Yasar Haque  (Constructor University Bremen)
Final presentation: Imaging sonar is commonly used in underwater detection tasks, as it can provide acoustic imaging of underwater environments in low or zero visibility conditions where optical sensors fail. The forward-looking sonar (FLS) is commonly used for monitoring tasks due to its capabilit…
