Research and development: Development of an algorithm to easily learn technical processes using artificial neural networks and generate SystemC Modules to simulate technical processes

Preparing of test objects for the digital-forensics-exams of the Federal Criminal Police Office

Research and development: Development and implementation of a generic light-animation-description-language and the corresponding hardware for mobile robots to test different lighting concepts for indoor navigation

Research and development: Programming the movement and behavior of mobile robots for human-machine-interaction studies to determine how humans feel while interacting with robots

Systems Engineering provides methodical basic and specialized knowledge from the classical engineering disciplines together with the goal of the development, design and manufacture of intelligent technical systems.

The master program is mainly concerned with artificial intelligence, machine learning, navigation and behavior of autonomous robots. As a further component, various approaches to theoretical computer science are taught.

The bachelor's program in Technical Computer Science aims at an engineering work and methodological competence in the solution of tasks of the technical computer science with the emphasis in the information, communication and software engineering.
