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.
