Chance-Constrained Programming for Autonomous Vehicles in Uncertain Environments
(2018)Trajectory planning in uncertain environments arises in several autonomous system applications including robotics, air traffic and autonomous driving. An approach to handle uncertainties with sufficiently high safety guarantees is through chance-constrained optimization. In this work, we consider the problem of trajectory planning for an autonomous vehicle in an uncertain environment comprised of a number of obstacles. First, we explore ...Student Paper -
Proboscis search & rescue. Worm-like Softrobot for Search and Rescue Missions
(2018)Even though earthquakes are older than mankind, rescue equipment is still quite rudimentary. Currently, buried victims can be located with dogs or drones, but to reach them, large amounts of debris and other obstacles have to be removed carefully. This can take several days as heavy machinery and a lot of manpower is required. The goal of Focus Project Proboscis is to shortcut the rescue process and work on a physical solution to ...Student Paper
