+ | === Research === | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Generalized Pick&Place ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | My research is focused on robotics in the context of AI. | ||
+ | What we call Generalized Pick&Place is moving arbitrary objects in an everyday kitchen environment, where the operation of articulated furniture cabinets is necessay as well as bi-manual grasping. | ||
+ | A part of my work, I am aiming to provide robust approaches for such Pick&Place actions that improve their robustness and efficiency over time, using e.g. learning techniques and probabilistic models. | ||
+ | For doing so, we also work on the bootstrapping, such as opening an unknown cabinet for the first time, modelling its shape etc. and make such information available in a semantic map. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Student Projects === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Working mostly on the PR2 platform, I can offer projects in the area of [[http://ros.org|ROS]] or the [[https://willowgarage.com/pages/pr2/overview |PR2 robot]] and the [[http://pointclouds.org/|Point Cloud Library]] to ambitious students with or without previous experience. | ||
+ | The PR2 is a very forgiving platform with a well documented set of software packages, including tutorials that can be completed in simulation - meaning we can get students to working on a real full-fledged Personal Robot very quickly. | ||
+ | Apart from the PR2 we just got two [[https://willowgarage.com/turtlebot|Turtlebots]] that will be used mostly for student projects and teaching. | ||
