Learn to Move in Complex Environments

 

In this project / thesis, you are tasked with developing a controller which enables a physiologically-based human model to navigate a complex obstacle course as quickly as possible [1][2][3][4]. You are provided with a human musculoskeletal model and a physics-based simulation environment where you can synthesize physically and physiologically accurate motions.

AI-based music hit generator to accelerate music learning

Motivation is the key to successful learning, in particular practicing to play a music hit has a potential to increase motivation and by doing so to accelerate learning. 

The goal of this project is to implement  a NN music hit generator and integrate it into existing intelligent tutoring software.

Error-microscope to accelerate piano learning

Playing a musical instrument well is a skill that many people are pursuing over years. What makes it particularly difficult is the absence of a teacher to provide feedback and encouragement.  While practicing, we commonly neither choose the best practice strategies, nor are we capable of self-analyzing our performance.

Incipient Slip Detection

This 16x16 tactile sensor array is our workhorse for tactile-based robotics research. Providing 256 taxels on a grid of size 8cm x 8cm, we have a spatial resolution of 5mm. The modular design allows to stitch individual modules together to yield a larger tactile-sensitive surface.
