Requirements & Information

• Organizers: Prof. Dr. Maren Bennewitz (Juniorprof.), Prof Dr. Wolfram Burgard, PD Dr. Cyrill Stachniss, Dipl. Inf. Armin Hornung , Dipl. Inf. Kai Wurm
• The seminar will be held as a "Blockseminar" on July 21/22, location: 051 00 006 (wed) / 051 00 031 (thu). The exact schedule will be announced in July.
• You have to prepare a talk of 30 minutes and to write a summary. Both can be done in English or German.
• The seminar is restricted to 9 students.
• Please register via the LSF (click here). We apply the strategy: first come, first serve.
• The first meeting will be on April 21, 10 a.m. (for registered students only) in building 51, room 051 00 006.
• Topics will be assigned in the first meeting.
• A first version of the slides for the presentation must be sent to the superviser on July 11 at the latest.
• A first version of the summary must be sent to the superviser on July 14. You can revise the summary once according to the comments of your supervisor. The final version has to be submitted by July 18.
• The summaries should be 7 pages long at maximum (latex, a4wide, 11pt). For the 7 page limit, we just count the text, not the images and references. Longer summaries will not be accepted!
