"DLR CalDe and DLR CalLab" is a camera calibration toolbox that implements the well-known method of Zhang, Sturm and Maybank. The toolbox consists of two independent software components: While DLR ...

Region-based methods have become increasingly popular for model-based, monocular 3D tracking of texture-less objects in cluttered scenes. However, while they achieve state-of-the-art results, most ...

We present datasets of 2.5D elevation maps of planetary environment that were collected on Mt. Etna during the space-analogous ARCHES mission. In addition to the raw elevation maps, we provide cost ...

We release a dataset recorded on the Moon-like environment of Mount Etna, Sicily, with a sensor setup that comprises a stereo camera, a LiDAR and an IMU. The dataset is intended to expose several ...

Institute director Alin Albu-Schäffer with the four-legged walking robot Bert. This is a platform for research into highly dynamic and efficient walking.

Das Robotik und Mechatronik Zentrum ist das Kompetenzzentrum im Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) für Forschung und Entwicklung auf den Gebieten Robotik, Mechatronik und optische Systeme ...

Verletzungen, Unfälle, Schlaganfälle und andere Krankheiten können die Fähigkeit, selbst die einfachsten Aktivitäten des täglichen Lebens auszuführen, erheblich beeinträchtigen. In manchen Fällen ...

How to repair satellites, deep sea mining sites or nuclear plants without endangering humans? By using remotely commanded robots, or telerobotic technology. A human operator can command such a robotic ...

The project M-Runners is part of the ERC Advanced Grant 2018 with focus on Modal Nonlinear Resonance for Efficient and Versatile Legged Locomotion. ERC grants are awarded through open competition to ...

Convolutional neural networks show remarkable results in classification but struggle with learning new things on the fly. We present a novel rehearsal-free approach, where a deep neural network is ...

We propose a novel, highly efficient sparse approach to region-based 6DoF object tracking that requires only a monocular RGB camera and the 3D object model. The key contribution of our work is a ...

The use of some robot technologies originally developed for space applications is also possible in medical diagnostics and interventions. Medical robotics supports the attending physician in complex ...
