Previous work

• SIMERO Diploma Thesis "SIMERO: Erzeugung von flüssigen und schnellen Roboterbewegungen" This diploma thesis presents concepts for a fast and continuous robot movement based on the system described in the project thesis "SIMERO Software System Design and Implementation". It demonstrates the use of a robot model for the generation of robot difference images in arbitrary configurations.

• Project Thesis: "SIMERO Software System Design and Implementation" This project thesis presents the software design of a path planning system for an industrial robot. The path planning is based on sensor information from a camera vision system and from the configuration sensors of the industrial robot. The software is designed to provide real-time obstacle avoidance while controlling the robot over a network connection. We present a multithreaded and data-flow oriented design approach and the implementation and test results for the prototype software.
