Research Group: Robotics & Autonomous Systems

The research group Robotics & Autonomous Systems focuses on kinematic and dynamic modeling as well as motion planning for complex mechatronic systems, with the emphasis on multi-body systems and autonomous, mobile (service) robots. Exemplary fields of work are the study of flexibly usable robot concepts and the development and implementation of customized, application-specific mechatronic solutions, e. g. for mechatronics-assisted surgery. Further, the topics of universal modeling and identification methods are explored and used for model-based control approaches or (energy) optimal motion planning to meet the continuously rising demands of economical, highly accurate, yet highly dynamic systems.
