Employment
Experience
- Nao Team HTWK
RoboCup is an annual international robotics competition founded in 1997. The aim is to promote robotics and AI research by offering a publicly appealing but formidable challenge.
I was the founding member of the Nao Team HTWK, a succesful RoboCup team since 2009 and Vice World Champion 2014 in the Humanoid Soccer Standard Platform League. My primary tasks (aside from teaching students the fascinating world of robotics and AI) are developing algorithms for object detection and tracking, localization, and stable humanoid locomotion. - Visual Tracking System
I developed real-time vision-based tracking algorithms to estimate camera parameters, distinguish background and foreground objects by motion analysis, and track them with subpixel accuracy. A continuous background model is generated and real-time registration and position queries for finding a particular part of the scene are possible. It differs in many ways from other existing solutions and is part of my own image processing library. It's used, for example, for sports video analysis and robotics competitions.
