Current research interests
Towards real-world, multi-robot systems
    Keywords: autonomous and adaptive physical systems, distributed estimation and control, real-time architectures, active sensing, clustering & classification, distributed communication
    Dependable airborne and underwater autonomous robotics systems require new concepts of design as well as rigorous experimentation in the field.

Current projects
Some former projects
  • High speed car stabilization
  • ARC-project:
    To flee or not to flee: surviving on incomplete information
    '05-'08
    (collaboration with the Research School for Biological Sciences)
  • Robust autonomous systems
    (hybrid modelling of interactions with natural/hostile environments)
  • Bioinformation
    (perspectives in understanding and utilizing natural information 'processing')
  • Auditory spatial modelling
  • Global and specific behaviour modelling
  • LISA (auditory spatial modelling)
  • ALICE (self-localization, exploration, world-modelling, navigation, neural networks)
  • SPIN (subsymbolic, geometric abstractions - object recognition)
  • ALBATROSS (realtime communication and operating system)
