Thesis Topics

Motivation In incidents involving a mass accumulation of victims — such as natural disasters — human rescue personnel are a scarce resource, and rescuers may put themselves at risk when reaching victims in hazardous environments, such as partially collapsed buildings. As a result, victims may not receive help in time. Rescue robotics aims to close […]

Die Freilandhaltung von Legehennen gewinnt aus Gründen des Tierwohls und der Verbrauchernachfrage zunehmend an Bedeutung, setzt die Tiere im Auslauf jedoch Greifvögeln wie Habicht, Bussard und Milan aus. Neben den unmittelbar gerissenen Tieren entstehen erhebliche indirekte Schäden: Panik in der Herde, Verletzungen, Leistungseinbrüche und eine dauerhaft reduzierte Nutzung des Auslaufs. Da Greifvögel geschützt sind, muss […]

In conventional ultrasound imaging, the probe must be pressed against the potentially fractured region of the forearm, which can be extremely painful for young patients. This project aims at the development of a contactless robot-assisted ultrasound scanning system to improve diagnostic outcomes and reduce patient discomfort during fracture detection procedures. To accurately scan the target […]

This project aims to develop a machine learning model capable of reconstructing a 3D volume using the ultrasound images of a forearm, tracked probe data, and the calibration matrix as inputs. The model should be able to compensate for inaccuracies in the calibration matrix, thereby improving the accuracy of the reconstructed 3D volume. What you […]
