Planning the simultaneous movement of multiple agents represents a challenging coordination problem, and ideally safety and efficiency are jointly addressed. In his master thesis, Paul Ladinig developed a planning algorithm for fast and energy-efficient trajectories with reduced collision potential from a start to an end constellation. This new approach combines […]

Coalition formation and task assignment in MRS
Multi-robot systems (MRS) accomplish many missions with different complexities, and their applications range from search-and-rescue and surveillance to transportation and entertainment. In many missions, multiple robots need to cooperate to complete tasks. The workflow of these multi-robot tasks involves forming coalitions of robots, assigning them to available tasks, and jointly […]

Privacy-protection research in 3sat science show nano
Our research on privacy-protection in cameras and in drone videos was broadcasted across Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The science show nano from 3sat reported about our TrustEYE prototype for protection onboard cameras and our video anonymization in aerial videos. The key idea of TrustEYE is to protect access to the […]

Film footage about our privacy protection research
The Austrian Broadcasting Corporation filmed about our research on privacy protection for more than four hours. The shooting took place in our laboratory and outdoors, where we reenacted a selfie drone scenario and demonstrated our aerial video anonymization approach. The shooting also covered our smart camera prototypes with embedded privacy […]
