Research

My research focus lies on networked control systems in the context of the GROKO-Plan project. New approaches in networked control can be evaluated in the CPM Lab experimentally. The videos on YouTube give an impression of the CPM Lab and research done by members of the CPM Group.

Theses

Open topics in my research area usually exist. If you are interested in my research, we can meet up or you can contact me via email in order to draft a suitable thesis topic.

Students worked on the following topics under my supervision:

Analysis of existing autonomous and networked model-scale vehicles
Combining graphs for maneuver-based motion planning of networked vehicles
Sensor fusion for indoor position estimation of model-scale vehicles
Path tracking control of model-scale vehicles
Distributed trajectory planning for networked vehicles using graphs
Receding horizon control using graph search for networked vehicle trajectory planning
Priority assignment in graph-based distributed trajectory planning
Using dynamic priority assignment to increase feasibility in priority-based networked control
Dynamic priorities to increase feasiblity in graph-based trajectory planning for networked model-scale vehicles
Parallel Priority-based Trajectory Planning with Safety Guarantees for Networked Vehicles
Implementation of a Manual Controller for Model-scale Vehicles in Mixed Traffic
Computationally Efficient Graph-based Motion Planning of Networked Vehicles
Computationally Efficient Graph Search Algorithms for Experiments of Distributed Trajectory Planning
Generalizing Model-Scale Experiments in Networked and Autonomous Driving Using a Service-Oriented Architecture
Centralized Graph-Search Algorithms for Effective Trajectory Planning of Networked Vehicles
