The Osnabrück-based DFKI research department Plan-Based Robot Control develops algorithms for the plan-based control of autonomous mobile robotic systems. Areas of application include the use of autonomous agricultural machinery and driverless transportation systems.
The field of research includes the three-dimensional sensory perception of the machine's environment and the automatic interpretation of the data collected. Artificial intelligence methods allow the machine to determine the semantic context of the environment in which it is located. Based on the knowledge obtained in this way, the machine creates action plans that enable it to achieve predefined action goals independently. All these steps must be robust against uncertainty and incompleteness of the knowledge and perception of the robot's environment.
The fields of research and development are
3D mapping and modeling
Semantic sensor data processing
Generation and execution monitoring of action plans
