Teaching
Supervision of Bachelor or Master Thesis: Students should have background in computer vision techniques and neural networks, as well as interest in the acquisition of experimental data and scientific evaluation. Interest in developing robot interaction scenarios are highly welcome. Good programming skills (C++, Java, Python, Matlab) and curiosity to explore a topic in also a self-contained manner are mandatory. Please contact me via e-mail for topics and discussion or refer to BSc & MSc Theses |
