Robotic Navigation with Natural Language Commands
The main goal of this project is to add capabilities for processing commands in natural language to an existing system for robot navigation.
Master Thesis on “Implementing and evaluating a Vision-Language-Action model for Robotic Manipulation“
The goal of the thesis is for the student to implement and evaluate a recent Visual-Language-Action model for robotic manipulation, OpenVLA, in a real robot-laboratory setting.
Master Thesis on “Fine-tuning Open-source LLMs for Processing Open-vocabulary Commands for Robotic Navigation”
Most of the systems performing open-vocabulary navigation use closed LLMs accessible via an API. If this kind of systems are to be adopted for practical robotic applications, it is important that the information is not sent to third-party systems. The goal of the project is to evaluate fine-tuning of local open-source models for processing natural language commands for robotic navigation.
Master Thesis on “Natural Language Commands for Robotic Navigation”
Recent breakthroughs in natural language processing are enabling robots to understand human language like never before. The thesis will address the problem of translating human language to executable robot skills.
Master’s Thesis Topic on Discriminative Filtering/Feature Extraction for Classification of Tactile Signals
We are currently seeking for a motivated and talented master’s student to work on discriminative filtering and feature extraction for classification of tactile signals.
Master Thesis on “Learning From Demonstrations (LfDs) for Robotic Manipulators”
We are currently seeking a motivated and talented master’s student to investigate and improve upon a developed method that learns cost and constraints explicitly as part of their master’s thesis.
Master Thesis on “Teleoperation and Assistive Systems”
We are currently seeking a motivated and talented master’s student to work on developing a Teleoperation and Assistive system for robotic systems as part of their master’s thesis.
