Robotics Laboratory - Projects

The general scope of this term's practical is about winning a race with robots. The best student teams from the practical will get the opportunity to participate in a competition or technical challenge and hopefully to harvest the first price! Students can select whether they want to develop a robot driving on wheels/tracks (Rescue Robots) or a walking robot (Humanoid Robots) for this purpose.

Rescue Robots

(Contact: Dr. Alexander Kleiner)

Projects in the rescue part of the laboratory involve solving tasks relevant for the RoboCup Rescue League.

For example:

  • Integration of data from a Laser Range Finder (LRF)
  • Detection of poles and drivable roads from LRF data
  • Planning of efficient robot trajectories
  • Fast and save navigation indoors and outdoor

See Rescue Robots Freiburg for details.

Humanoid Robots

(Contact: Dr. Sven Behnke)

Projects in the humanoid soccer part of the laboratory involve solving tasks relevant for the RoboCup Humanoid League.

For example:

  • Dribbling the ball around three colored poles
  • Foot race across the soccer field
  • Obstacle avoidance and path planning
  • Development of a new vision system

See Humanoid Robots for details.
