spatial inference

Our robot lab

our robot 'Giraffe' Since autumn 1998, we are equipped with a robot lab and one pioneer robot. This robot type was chosen, since it is a very common platform, allowing us to compare our results with those of other groups easily. Furthermore, other robot groups located in the same department (e.g. IMA) are using them too, allowing us to share experiences.
Working with robots is also great fun and encourages to lots of experiments, so we made up a page with lots of interesting links an useful information on robots and even some information on how to build your own, so check it out.

current work

Right now, we are still involved in setting up the lab. Our first goal is coping with a Realator-like enviroment.

future plans

Our work on the simulator yields towards a more realistic enviroment with robot-like agents. For further information, see "future plans" on the Realator page.
