The aim of the TRIPLE project line is to design and build a system for scientific exploration of subglacial lakes while validating the associated functions in close cooperation with marine and space s

A remaining major challenge with autonomous systems is the handling of situations that the system cannot handle on its own. Up to now, this transfer of control has been considered in isolation. An imp

### Rationale Apart from earthquakes which usually result in catastrophic structural collapses with many people entrapped or killed, e.g. Indonesia 2018, Japan 2011, Haiti 2010, Italy 2009, Greece 199

Skylight is a concept study about accessing and exploring a lunar skylight. Lunar skylights are holes in the moon surface that most likely are collapsed roofs caves under the moon surface. The study t

Deep learning methods are used in many application areas and work very efficiently after a training phase. However, in general no reliable statement can be made about their correctness. In contrast, t

The main objective of the TRAILER project is to develop a compound rover system consisting of (i) an agile and powerful rover, the so-called TRACTOR subsystem, equipped with high performance locomotio

Inspection and Maintenance (I&M) represents a huge economic activity (450 Bn Euro market) spanning across sectors such as energy, transport, civil engineering. EU hosts over 50% of I&M robotics offer

ROBDEKON stands for "Robot systems for decontamination in hostile environments" and is dedicated to research in the field of autonomous or semi-autonomous robot systems. It is coordinated by the Fraun

The TRACTAT project aims to lay the foundation for a smooth and effective Transfer of Control (ToC) between autonomous systems and humans in cyber-physical environments. Autonomous systems, like self-
