Research environments
Focus of the the Robot Navigation and Perception Lab is on perception systems for mobile robots. Our goal is to advance the theoretical and practical foundations that allow mobile robots to operate in an unconstrained, dynamic environment. The approaches that we develop address real-world needs and are typically characterized by fusion of different sensor modalities. Where possible the results of our research work are timely integrated in industrial demonstrators. Research is organized along two major strands in the areas of mobile robotics and artificial olfaction.
Mobile Robotics
Research in Mobile Robotics is aimed at autonomous and safe long-term operation in real world scenarios. Industrial relevance and technology transfer of our research results is facilitated through collaborative projects with industrial partners in the area of professional service robots for autonomous transportation ("logistics robots"). These collaborative projects deal with robotic forklifts in warehouses, robotic wheel loaders on asphalt production sites, underground mining vehicles and garbage bin collecting robots in public areas as well as robotic systems to unload containers.
