Seminar Robot Navigation


Requirements & Information
  • Organizers: Prof Dr. Wolfram Burgard, Prof. Dr. Maren Bennewitz (Juniorprof.), Dipl. Inf. Barbara Frank, Dipl. Inf. Boris Lau, and Dipl. Inf. Kai Wurm
  • 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 seminar will be held as a "Blockseminar" on Feb 19/20 starting at 10 a.m. in building 101, room 101 00 010/014.
  • The first meeting will be on October 22, 11 a.m. (for registered students only) in building 79, first floor, room 079 00 019.
  • The slides for the presentation must be shown to the superviser before Feb 1.
  • The summaries of the presented work must be submitted by Feb 9.
  • The summaries should be 7 pages long at maximum (latex, a4wide, 11pt). Significantly longer summaries will not be accepted!
  • Papers will be assigned in the first meeting.
