Research Area - SYSTEMS DESIGN

The research area Systems Design deals with questions of model-based design of heterogeneous complex technical systems for automation, robotics and mechatronics. The aim is the derivation of reliable metrics for performance and behavioral properties at early stage of development on the basis of abstract system models. The current work focuses on the modeling, analysis and verification of dependability properties (RAMS - Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety) using state-of-the art system models (UML-SysML, AADL, Matlab/Simulink).

A set-based multi-fusion approach for navigation of mobile platforms with guranteed collision-free motion (Sylvia Horn)

Set-based GNC in indoor environment with moving objects © S. Horn

Datenschutzrichtlinie

An autonomous mobile platform must be able to operate in a partially unknown and dynamic environment. This requires the acquisition of diverse enviromental information, which is generally affected by noise. Assuming that the probability distributions of the uncertainties are unknown, but bounded, interesting estimates can be modeled as sets. This thesis introduces a novel set-based navigation concept, which handles set-based information safely and productive.
To achieve a high degree of accuracy in the platform localization, multifarious information from different sources is gathered and merged to obtain a more precise pose estimation area. This merger is called set-based multifusion. Similarly the principle of multifusion can be applied to the platform guidance. Here diverse information has also to be combined to calculate a collision-free path to the goal. The verification of the presented set-based algorithms was conducted via real and simulated experiments.

Optical flow-based perception, behavior-based control, and topological path planning for mobile robots using fuzzy logic concepts (Mai Ngoc Anh)

Bio-inspired Optical Flow Interpretation with Fuzzy-Logic for Behavior-based Robot Control © Mai Ngoc Anh

Datenschutzrichtlinie

In this thesis, a new approach of optical flow-based perception through qualitative interpretations is developed. The qualitative optical flow interpretations provide mobile robots with visual perception a more detailed image of their 3D working environment, e.g. obstacle positions and indoor object types. By using fuzzy logic for the interpretations, the optical flow perception becomes simple and intelligent in a bioinspired manner and moreover gains robustness under noisy conditions in the working environment.
On the other hand, this thesis develops a generic modular structure of a behavior-based control system with three clearly separate modules for perception, motion control, and path planning. The system concept is independent of the specific type of perception. The designed behaviors are functionally classified into two separated modules, concerning collision-free motion control and goal oriented path planning. Some of the behaviors use fuzzy logic concepts, which result in flexible and smooth robotic motion.
Furthermore a new scheme for topological path planning in combination with fuzzy-based behaviors is developed for the goal-oriented navigation of a mobile robot. This combination allows a mobile robot to perform topological path planning in a real environment without metric information regarding its global and local positions.

Engineering-oriented Control Architecture based on Action Primitives for Applications in Robotics (Matthias Hennig)

APECA - dual robot synchronization with action-primitives © M. Hennig

Datenschutzrichtlinie

The APECA framework provides a flexible control architecture for robotic systems for behavior-based control. The conceptual design combines different requirements identified in miscellaneous robotic control approaches. The main focus of the resulting concept is on a simplified engineering process for the controller design. This approach is supported by the use of atomic system behaviors, the so called action primitives, in a special module hierarchy.
For this purpose a distinction between a functional behavior based system model with hierarchically and also parallelly executed action primitives and a sequential control system model with a task-dependent activation of the primitives is proposed. These models are assigned to different users through a distinct user concept. An object-oriented implementation of the proposed architecture allows the utilization and synchronisation of multiple (sub-)systems within one framework. In this work the proposed framework will be discussed, a prototypical implementation will be presented and results based on different experimental scenarios will be shown.

The research area of Industrial Automation focuses on the application of innovative information technologies e.g. model-driven and communication technologies, their challenges and risks for automation solutions. The goals are the conception and design of formal models and languages for a systematic and consistent design of automation systems to support essential use cases in the life cycle of automation systems such as Plug&Produce or Continuous Engineering. One application field is the development of sub models for Human-Machine Interface fragments for a self-description within Industrie 4.0 components following industrial requirement definitions. Another field is the conception and development of novel multimodal user interfaces to intelligently network people and remote product surfaces using internet and telecommunication technologies (Web, XML, Web services, 5G technologies).
