I gave a keynote on “How to Act as Team – Motion Planning in Multi-Robot Systems” at the Austrian Robotics Workshop 2022 in Villach.

Planning the collision-free, simultaneous movement of multiple agents is a fundamental problem in multi-robot systems and becomes particularly challenging in highly confined environments. Hikmet Beyoglu addresses this problem in his master thesis by first searching for collision-free paths in a discretized environment and then optimizing the agents’ dynamically feasible trajectories […]

Bernhard Rinner gave a lecture on “Self-awareness for autonomous systems” as part of the AI Excellence Lecture Series of the Artificial Intelligence Doctoral Academy. Abstract Self-awareness is a broad concept borrowed from cognitive science and psychology that describes the property of a system, which has knowledge of “itself,” based on […]

On January 1, 2022, there was a leadership change at the Faculty of Technical Sciences. Clemens Heuberger, professor of discrete mathematics, was appointed the new dean for two years. Heuberger has been vice dean of the faculty since 2013 and therefore brings a lot of experience to his position. Bernhard […]

Rockson Agyeman, Markus Gutmann, Kyriakos Lite and Bernhard Rinner from the Pervasive Computing Group took part as a relay team in the Graz Marathon on October 10, 2021. “The Running Threads” – as team named itself – were among the top 20 in this competition.

Today Petra Mazdin successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled Communication-Aware Multi-Robot Coordination for Simultaneous Coverage. The committee was composed by Prof. Christian Bettstetter (chair), Prof. Daniele Nardi (Sapienza University of Rome) and Prof. Hermann Hellwagner. Petra conducted her PhD within the Karl Popper Kolleg on Networked Aerial Autonomous Vehicles and […]
