Research Topics

• Data Mining / Knowledge Discovery

• Objective Functions, Learning Objective Functions

• Knowledge Representation

• Motion Primitives

• Human Motions as Model for Robot Controllers

• Human Motions in Manipulation Tasks

Current Research Projects

• CogMan : The CogMan project (1) develops computational and control models of pick-and-place tasks in the context of everyday manipulation activities in human environments, (2) implements the model into a control system for the kitchen scenario, and (3) empirically analyzes the impact of this control model on the flexibility, robustness, adaptability, and naturality of the robot behavior.

• KnowRob / Knowledge 4 CoTeSys : The project targets at building knowledge representation and processing systems for mobile robots by combining description logics knowledge bases with data mining, (self-) observation modules and imported knowledge from the World Wide Web.
