The interdisciplineary research training group (Ph.D. program) investigates fundamental research topics arising from the scientific challenges involved in scenarios of monitoring a potentially weakly structured and dynamically changing environment by networks of heterogeneous, stationary and mobile sensor and robotic systems.

Transfemoral amputees want an adequate replacement for the missing limbs, which enables a natural gait and can be integrated into the user's body image. A promising approach to comply with these requirements is the application of prosthetic devices with integrated actuators to support the user's motion sequences. In this project, enabling technologies for the design and implementation of user-friendly, energy-efficient, active leg prostheses are researched.
Research Center Computational Engineering
The computer aided modeling, simulation and optimization enables the investigation of complex, engineering systems and natural phenomena which would be too expensive, too dangerous or even impossible to study by direct experimentation.

The modeling of the time dependent, dynamic behavior of the human musculoskeletal system results in a large scale mechanical multibody system. This consists of submodels for the skeleton, wobbling masses, muscles and tendons as redundant actuators. Optimization models are required for the simulation of the muscle groups involved in a motion.

For precise milling application of work pieces industrial robots are applicable limitedly due to their elastic resilience. Now, Deviations are simulated and corrected by optimization methods considering a mathematical model, that reproduces static and dynamic interactions of robot and milling process.

Subproject: Optimization methods for simulation models
In this project, new methods and procedures for the optimization of systems are developed, where system properties are usually described by very computationally intensive simulation models, and these can often only be integrated into an optimization process as a black box.
