The Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) is the world's largest database of fully evaluated and published crystal structure data, mostly obtained from experimental results. However, the purely experimental approach is no longer the only route to discover new compounds and structures. In the past few decades, numerous computational methods for simulating and predicting structures of inorganic...
Search and rescue field missions, especially in environments which are dangerous for humans, increasingly requires the usage of robust and flexible robots. We describe the development of the modular reconfigurable robot KAIRO 3 focusing on applications in search and rescue, inspection and maintenance. After a short retrospect of previous generations of modular robots, the latest design of KAIRO 3...
The main goal of mobile service robots is to assist human beings in everyday life. Instead of limiting treatment to just artificial, structured lab areas, such systems must in particular be able to operate well in human, unstructured environments. In this paper we present an approach to recognize and localize as well as reliably and robustly manipulate objects in the presence of obstacles. Our method...
The major goal of research regarding mobile service robotics is to enable a robot to assist human beings in their everyday life. This implies that the robot will have to deal with everyday life environments. One of the most important steps towards able service robots is to enhance the ability to operate well in unstructured living environments. In this paper we focus on the integration of object recognition,...
