PatchMatch-Stereo-Panorama, a fast dense reconstruction from 360° video images
Hartmut Surmann, Marc Thurow, Dominik Slomma
This work proposes a new method for real-time dense 3d reconstruction for common 360° action cams, which can be mounted on small scouting UAVs during USAR missions. The proposed me…
Obtaining Robust Control and Navigation Policies for Multi-Robot Navigation via Deep Reinforcement Learning
Christian Jestel, Hartmut Surmann, Jonas Stenzel +2
Multi-robot navigation is a challenging task in which multiple robots must be coordinated simultaneously within dynamic environments. We apply deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to…
Deployment of Aerial Robots during the Flood Disaster in Erftstadt / Blessem in July 2021
Hartmut Surmann, Dominik Slomma, Robert Grafe +1
Climate change is leading to more and more extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and flooding. This technical report deals with the question of how rescue commanders can be…
Deployment of Aerial Robots after a major fire of an industrial hall with hazardous substances, a report
Hartmut Surmann, Dominik Slomma, Stefan Grobelny +1
This technical report is about the mission and the experience gained during the reconnaissance of an industrial hall with hazardous substances after a major fire in Berlin. During…
Deep Reinforcement learning for real autonomous mobile robot navigation in indoor environments
Hartmut Surmann, Christian Jestel, Robin Marchel +3
Deep Reinforcement Learning has been successfully applied in various computer games [8]. However, it is still rarely used in real-world applications, especially for the navigation…
3D mapping for multi hybrid robot cooperation
Hartmut Surmann, Nils Berninger, Rainer Worst
This paper presents a novel approach to build consistent 3D maps for multi robot cooperation in USAR environments. The sensor streams from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and groun…
