Cooperations within SFB/TR 8

A1-[RoboMap] and A3-[Multibot]

In cooperation with the A1-RoboMap and the A3-MultiBot project, we are developing a feature-based FastSLAM variant that uses the Voronoi vertices extracted from a local grid map as features.

I2-[MapSpace]

schemantic-maps In cooperation with project I2-[MapSpace] we research the utilization of schematic maps for robot instruction. Schematic maps are valuable in humans' wayfinding. This joint work pursues to enable robots understand schematic maps.


R4-[LogoSpace]

Modelling right of way in sea navigation

shipcrash The goal of this cooperation is modelling right of way rules of sea navigation. We will investigate the opportunities of several calculi resolving potential conflict situations, i.e. situations where boats are in danger of a future collision. The calculi currently regarded are the Dipole Calculus and the OPRAm calculi.



External Cooperations

Robot Navigation and Shape Similarity (Prof. Longin Jan Latecki, Temple University, USA)

merged-mapsWe cooperate with Prof. Longin Jan Latecki on shape similarity for robot mapping applications

Reasoning for topological correctness in robot maps (Prof. Margaret Jefferies, University of Waikato, NZ)

When representing a robot's surrounding as a graph of local maps, it is important to detect that the robot re-entered a previously visited area. In this cooperation we demonstrate the use of reasoning about shape and the reasoning about qualitative configurations.

A real-time deliberative component for cooperative multi-robot systems in highly dynamic domains (SPP 1125)

AllemaniACs We cooperate with the Knowledge Based Systems Group at RWTH Aachen and the AllemaniACs RoboCup Team for integrating qualitative spatial calculi into high-level robot control languages as Golog or FLUX. The major goal of this subproject of the German National Science Foundation's (DFG) SPP 1125 "Cooperative Multi-robot Teams in highly dynamic domains" is the design of a deliberative component for cooperative multi-robot systems.
