Object recognition in (mobile) robotics

Description:

Using cameras, objects can be detected visually by means of different methods and those objects can be then grasped with the help of a robot arm. Thereby, both image processing methods as well as the estimation of system variables (e.g. with the help of a Kalman filter) play an important role. Furthermore, especially in mobile robotics, the trajectory planning is of fundamental importance.

Distributed optimization of hybrid systems

Description:

Hybrid systems exhibit both continuous and event-discrete dynamics. This interaction presents additional challenges for controlling such systems. We are particularly concerning a distributed configuration of the optimization problem. This reduces the amount of calculation and communication required for practical applications and guarantees the performance of the entire system.
