At the Institute of Mechatronic Systems in Mechanical Engineering, research is being conducted on autonomous, connected robotic vehicles. These vehicles are expected to ensure not only safe but also efficient movement. Current driver assistance systems, such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), are already widely used in modern vehicles and serve as a fundamental basis for future automated driving functions. As part of this thesis, such a system is to be designed for complex urban intersection scenarios, focusing on both safety and efficiency, and implemented into the existing code structure. The approach will then be tested using the traffic simulation platform SUMO.

Electrification of mobile working machines, such as excavators, wheel loaders and forestry ma-chines, presents new challenges in electric motor selection and sizing, particularly in handling peak loads and overload conditions. This thesis topic examines the peak load capacity and overload-based sizing of electric motors used in mobile machinery. The findings of this thesis should provide state-of-the-art for optimizing the selection of electric motors for mobile working machines. These insights contribute to the broader development of efficient and durable electrified work machinery.

The establishment of a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testbench for the traction drive of heavy mobile machinery represents a significant step forward in the development and validation of traction drive systems. This thesis topic explores the comprehensive process of implementing such a HIL testbench, which facilitates real-time simulation and testing of traction drives.

Am Institut für Mechatronische Systeme im Maschinenbau wird an autonomen, vernetzten Roboterfahrzeugen geforscht. Diese Fahrzeuge sollen nicht nur eine sichere, sondern auch eine möglichst effiziente Fortbewegung gewährleisten. Daher wird an einer Effizienzsteigerung durch eine Längsdynamikregelung gearbeitet. Diese Regelungssysteme werden in einer simulierten Verkehrsumgebung (SUMO) getestet. Um die daraus resultierenden Unterschiede im Verkehrsverhalten, die durch die Längsdynamikregelungen entstehen, zu analysieren, soll eine grafische ?Auswertung der Ergebnisse erfolgen.

Agile Robots SE is developing a kinematic replica for teleoperation of a humanoid with high DoF hands for data collection used in imitation learning. The current prototype provides two single-trigger handles to signalize grasping commands. This restricts the complexity of the teleoperations and, therefore, the tasks that the humanoid learns through imitation learning. This project aims to develop a multi-trigger handle to capture more nuanced commands.
