The Department of Computer Science welcomes Professor Dr. Kristian Kersting to the TU Darmstadt

Since the beginning of May, Prof. Kersting is a member of the Department of Computer Science. He leads the Institute for Machine Learning and is a member of the interdisciplinary Centre for Cognitive Science at TU Darmstadt.

Stage 3: Mission possible – TU Darmstadt Robot wins international challenge

The German-Austrian "Argonauts“-team has won the international ARGOS Challenge for intelligent inspection robots on oil and gas platforms, endowed with prize money of 500,000 Euros.

Who says that programming is boring?

From May 8th to 10th, graduate school AIPHES invited pupils from the Justus-Liebig-School Darmstadt to the workshop „Adventure Data Journalism“. They spent exciting days at TU Darmstadt's Department of Computer Science and were introduced to the world of programming. In a case study, the seventh-grade girls and boys took on the role of assistants to a data journalist who is supposed to analyse texts about a certain issue and to present the results in an interesting short film for a chief editor of a fictitious online magazine.

Stage 2: Final challenge

A robot, developed at the Department of Computer Science of TU Darmstadt, competes in the final of the international ARGOS Challenge for intelligent inspection robots on oil and gas platforms. In the challenge, the robot „Argonaut“ runs against four international teams.

Stage 1: Preparation

A robot, developed by the Department of Computer Science of TU Darmstadt, competes in the final of the international ARGOS Challenge for intelligent inspection robots on oil and gas platforms for the 500,000 Euro price. The challenge was launched by the French company TOTAL. From March 13 to 17, the Argonaut developers from Darmstadt and their cooperation partners from Vienna will have to prove themselves against four other teams in Pau, France. They are currently practicing around the clock in the laboratory and on campus.

Numerous female undergraduate students, postgraduate students, research assistants and administrative staff gathered in order to get to know each other and to exchange experiences.
