RAM Special issue: Robots on the Web -- Towards a WWW for Nonhumans

(C) IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine 2011

We co-edited the latest issue of the IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine entitled "Robots on the Web – Towards a WWW for Nonhumans". The issue gives an overview of recent approaches to make information on the WWW available to robots and to exchange information between robots over the Internet.

The Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group was involved in three papers in this special issue:

  • Web-Enabled Robots by Moritz Tenorth, Ulrich Klank, Dejan Pangercic and Michael Beetz describes several methods for knowledge acquisition from Internet resources.
  • Furniture Models Learned from the WWW by Oscar Martinez Mozos, Zoltan-Csaba Marton and Michael Beetz describes methods for locating and categorizing unknown pieces of furniture in 3D laser scans based on information from web catalogs.
  • RoboEarth -- A World Wide Web for Robots by Markus Waibel et al. describes the RoboEarth platform, a system for exchanging knowledge about actions, objects and the robot's environment between robots.

IROS workshop on knowledge representation

During IROS 2011, we will be organizing a workshop on knowledge representation for autonomous robots.

In this workshop, we invite researchers from both robotics and knowledge representation to discuss the state of the art in robot knowledge processing, examine how formally represented knowledge can help robots in performing their tasks, and identify major research challenges that need to be addressed.

The workshop will take place on Sunday, September 25th 2011.

Demonstrations at CoTeSys open day

On Friday, July 22, 2011, the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group opened the doors of its lab to the public. TUM-Rosie and TUM-James demonstrated their skills and prepared Bavarian sausages for the visitors. Especially the children were deeply impressed by the robots serving them.

In the morning, the CoTeSys cluster of excellence was awarded as a „Selected Landmark“ in the competition "365 Landmarks in the Land of Ideas". The prize is awarded to projects that realize innovative ideas in Germany.
