About me

I am a Phd student at the Humanoid Robots Lab headed by Maren Bennewitz at the University of Bonn. I received my master's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Duisburg-Essen in 2014.

Research Interests

• Human-robot-interaction
• Indoor robot navigation
• Service robots
• Educational technology

Teaching

• Seminar Humanoid Robots, WS2014/15 till SS2017, SS2018, WS2018/19
• Lab Humanoid Robots, WS2014/15 till WS2016/17
• Forschungsmethoden-Medienwissenschaften, SS2017, WS2017/18
• Lecture Cognitive Robotics WS2017/18, WS2018/19

Projects

• SQUIRREL - Clearing Clutter Bit by Bit (2014-2018)
  • Contributed to a team developing a robot for a toy cleaning scenario
  • Personally developed and integrated a gesture based human-robot-interface
  • Joint development and integration of the navigation system
  • Joint development of a robust user interaction framework in crowded environments
  • Personally developed a 2D-semantic path planner for cluttered environments
