Title: DARPA's SWARM Computing Challenges
When: Wednesday, 22.05.2013, 15:00h
Gail Thomas heads the DARPA program on networked droid/UAV swarms covering collaboration, stability and adaptation issues (almost a poster pitch for GKmM).
Congratulations to all team members of the GK's Team Hector for a very impressive performance at RoboCup German Open this weekend in Magdeburg!!
In the RoboCup Rescue Robot League the overall 1st place was achieved with a total score that was like in an own league way ahead of all other teams.
Furthermore, the Best in Class Autonomy Award was won.
Title: Harnessing Spectral Diversity for Mobile Access in Unlicensed Wireless Networks
When: Wednesday, 24.04.2013, 14:00h
Where: Room S3/20, 111
Title: Autonomous Control and Human Interaction in Multiple Robots Systems
Abstract: This topic of this talk will centered around the recent work of the Autonomous Robotics and Human-Machine Systems group at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in the field of multi-robot system control.
We will have two talks scheduled for our GK meeting, one from Javier López, a newly incoming PhD student, and one from Karen Petersen:
Talk from Javier López:
Title: Development of a modular Kalman Filter based sensor fusion algorithm for air vehicles
Talk from: Tsvetoslava Vateva-Gurova:
Topic: Trust (Dependability & Security) Quantification
The problem statement will emphasise on trust issues in a typical Cloud system model. An approach to establish trust in the Cloud ecosystem upon authentication will be presented. The approach involves negotiation and quantitative aggregation of security parameters.
