Data Science Infrastructure

Our team has been participating in the RoboCup competiton since 1998. Multiple types of data have been collected since 2009 and stored in an unstructured way. While being abundant, these data could not be manipulated easily, and was exclusively accessible to team members. This project will unlock the data potential by storing it in a structured database where multiple types of tools and operations can now be implemented. What has been done The robots collect data during each game and write this in a binary file. Additional data like configurations files and the git commit of the source...

Tools for Data Driven Research and Development in RoboCup

An empirical scientific discipline requires a set of methods and practices for evaluation and comparison of proposed models and solutions. RoboCup provides a unique common test scenario for robotics, but its potential is, by far, not realized. Conducting games incurs high cost in terms of effort, time, and money. The scientific outcome, however, is quite limited and often not very conclusive. In most cases only the final score of the games provides feedback about the performance of a team. In this project we develop a toolbox (a set of tools) to support collection, organization and...

Humanoider Roboter Gretchen

Angelehnt an biologische Systeme gewinnt die Forschung an verkörperter Künstlicher Intelligenz (Embodied AI) zunehmend an Signifikanz. Biologische Systeme sind inhärent dezentral aufgebaut wobei einzelne Teile des Körpers über eigene Intelligenz verfügen. Intelligentes Verhalten entsteht erst dann aus dem Zusammenspiel einzelner Komponenten und der Interaktion mit der Umgebung. Daher ist der Körper ein unerlässlicher Teil bei der Forschung nach Intelligenz. Besonders interessant sind dabei die humanoiden Roboter, welche immer noch schwer zugänglich, mit hohen Kosten verbunden und oft von...
