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.
