Award-winning scientists teach robots how to see better

Eva Tritschler Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit
Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg

    Scientists Alexander Hagg, Frederik Hegger and Professor Paul Plöger from the Department of Computer Science at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS) won the Best Scientific Paper Award at the RoboCup Symposium in Leipzig last weekend.

    Their work suggests various ways in which robots can use built-in 2D or 3D cameras to correctly recognise and pinpoint transparent or shiny objects. While transparent objects are common in our everyday surroundings, their visual perception by autonomous systems is one of the most difficult unresolved problems there is. The team from H-BRS in Sankt Augustin has developed methods for evaluating measurement points with unknown depth information.
