The steadily increasing size of the user base results in a greater demand for training as well. User groups range from students in academia to industry professionals with a broad spectrum of developers in between. To deliver high quality training and education to any of these audiences, educators need to tailor individual curricula for any such training. In this paper, we present an approach to ease compiling curricula for ROS trainings based on a taxonomy of the teaching contents. The instructor can select a set of dedicated learning units and the system will automatically compile the teaching material based on the dependencies of the units selected and a set of parameters for a particular training. We walk through an example training to illustrate our work.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JungFrotscherStaat2018, author = {Jung, Alexander and Frotscher, Ralf and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Electromechanical model of hiPSC-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes cocultured with fibroblasts}, series = {6th European Conference on Computational Mechanics (ECCM 6), 7th European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ECFD 7), 11-15 June 2018, Glasgow, UK}, booktitle = {6th European Conference on Computational Mechanics (ECCM 6), 7th European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ECFD 7), 11-15 June 2018, Glasgow, UK}, pages = {11 Seiten}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The CellDrum provides an experimental setup to study the mechanical effects of fibroblasts co-cultured with hiPSC-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes. Multi-scale computational models based on the Finite Element Method are developed. Coupled electrical cardiomyocyte-fibroblast models (cell level) are embedded into reaction-diffusion equations (tissue level) which compute the propagation of the action potential in the cardiac tissue. Electromechanical coupling is realised by an excitation-contraction model (cell level) and the active stress arising during contraction is added to the passive stress in the force balance, which determines the tissue displacement (tissue level). Tissue parameters in the model can be identified experimentally to the specific sample.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KahmannUschokWegmannetal.2018, author = {Kahmann, Stephanie Lucina and Uschok, Stephan and Wegmann, Kilian and M{\"u}ller, Lars-P. and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Biomechanical multibody model with refined kinematics of the elbow}, series = {6th European Conference on Computational Mechanics (ECCM 6), 7th European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ECFD 7), 11-15 June 2018, Glasgow, UK}, booktitle = {6th European Conference on Computational Mechanics (ECCM 6), 7th European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ECFD 7), 11-15 June 2018, Glasgow, UK}, pages = {11 Seiten}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The overall objective of this study is to develop a new external fixator, which closely maps the native kinematics of the elbow to decrease the joint force resulting in reduced rehabilitation time and pain. An experimental setup was designed to determine the native kinematics of the elbow during flexion of cadaveric arms. As a preliminary study, data from literature was used to modify a published biomechanical model for the calculation of the joint and muscle forces. They were compared to the original model and the effect of the kinematic refinement was evaluated. Furthermore, the obtained muscle forces were determined in order to apply them in the experimental setup. The joint forces in the modified model differed slightly from the forces in the original model. The muscle force curves changed particularly for small flexion angles but their magnitude for larger angles was consistent.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HofmannMatareSchifferetal.2018, author = {Hofmann, Till and Matar{\´e}, Victor and Schiffer, Stefan and Ferrein, Alexander and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Constraint-based online transformation of abstract plans into executable robot actions}, series = {Proceedings of the 2018 AAAI Spring Symposium on Integrating Representation, Reasoning, Learning, and Execution for Goal Directed Autonomy}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2018 AAAI Spring Symposium on Integrating Representation, Reasoning, Learning, and Execution for Goal Directed Autonomy}, pages = {549 -- 553}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StopforthDavrajhFerrein2017, author = {Stopforth, Riaan and Davrajh, Shaniel and Ferrein, Alexander}, title = {Design considerations of the duo fugam dual rotor UAV}, series = {2017 Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa and Robotics and Mechatronics (PRASA-RobMech)}, booktitle = {2017 Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa and Robotics and Mechatronics (PRASA-RobMech)}, isbn = {978-1-5386-2314-5}, doi = {10.1109/RoboMech.2017.8261115}, pages = {7 -- 13}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NiemuellerReuterFerreinetal.2016, author = {Niemueller, Tim and Reuter, Sebastian and Ferrein, Alexander and Jeschke, Sabina and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Evaluation of the RoboCup Logistics League and Derived Criteria for Future Competitions}, series = {RoboCup 2015: Robot World Cup XIX}, booktitle = {RoboCup 2015: Robot World Cup XIX}, editor = {Almeida, Luis}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-29339-4}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-29339-4_3}, pages = {31 -- 43}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BhattaraiFrotscherStaat2015, author = {Bhattarai, Aroj and Frotscher, Ralf and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Biomechanical study of the female pelvic floor dysfunction using the finite element method}, series = {Conference proceedings of the YIC GACM 2015 : 3rd ECCOMAS Young Investigators Conference and 6th GACM Colloquium on Computational Mechanics , Aachen , Germany, 20.07.2015 - 23.07.2015 / ed.: Stefanie Elgeti ; Jaan-Willem Simon}, booktitle = {Conference proceedings of the YIC GACM 2015 : 3rd ECCOMAS Young Investigators Conference and 6th GACM Colloquium on Computational Mechanics , Aachen , Germany, 20.07.2015 - 23.07.2015 / ed.: Stefanie Elgeti ; Jaan-Willem Simon}, publisher = {RWTH Aachen University}, address = {Aachen}, organization = {ECCOMAS Young Investigators Conference <3, 2015, Aachen>}, pages = {1 -- 4}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BeckerEggertSchwittay2012, author = {Becker, J{\"o}rg and Eggert, Mathias and Schwittay, Sebastian}, title = {How to Evaluate the Practical Relevance of Business Process Compliance Checking Approaches?}, series = {Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik 2012 - Tagungsband der MKWI 2012}, booktitle = {Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik 2012 - Tagungsband der MKWI 2012}, editor = {Mattfeld, Dirk Christian}, publisher = {Institut f{\"u}r Wirtschaftsinformatik}, address = {Braunschweig}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:084-13011115376}, pages = {849 -- 862}, year = {2012}, language = {en} }
