As part of the Advanced Topics in AI and Robotics lecture series, Prof. Dr Teena Hassan (H-BRS) will be hosting PhD student Mihaela Popescu from the University of Bremen, who will be reporting on sensor fusion for state estimation in robots.

Abstract This lecture addresses the topic of sensor fusion for robot state estimation, which involves utilizing multiple sensors to determine a robot's position and orientation. The lecture covers various types of mobile robots and the sensors used for state estimation. Additionally, the importance of sensor fusion for accurate localization is illustrated through an example of legged robot state estimation using the Kalman filter algorithm.

Interested parties are cordially invited to follow the lecture via WebEx.
