In this year's softwareproject-practical training, students implemented their own control software as well as a remote control for balanced two-wheel Lego-Robots. Amongst the implemented compulsory requirements was a grafical user interface with different interaction possibilities and a navigation display. Additionally, the participants put a range of their own ideas into practice, for example a sensor-based control with an Android-mobile phone.
We congratulate our colleague Andre Stollenwerk on his successful graduation (Dr.-Ing.).
Dr.-Ing. Stollenwerk has developed a model-based safety concept for a regulated extracorporeal, patient-oriented lung support (Smart-ECLA). Hence, his research project was part of an interdisciplinary project in cooperation with the Helmholtz-Institute of RWTH Aachen and the University Hospital Aachen. Following his defence the graduate, including his individual headgear, was transported according to tradition by his colleagues and the dean to the city hall. At the city hall the graduate had to deliver a short speech to the astonished citizens of Aachen in which he had to declare the “good news” using a few selected keywords.
The Embedded Software Laboratory has started a small series of videos about our current research projects. Currently, these videos are only available in German. Stay tuned.
