The control behavior of an RL controller is compared to that of traditional LQR and MPC controllers. This is done by evaluating their behavior under optimal conditions, their disturbance behavior, their robustness and their development process. All the investigated controllers are developed using MATLAB and the Simulink simulation environment and later deployed to a real pendulum model powered by a Raspberry Pi. The RL algorithm used is Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). The LQR controller exhibits an easy development process, an average to good control behavior and average to good robustness. A linear MPC controller could show excellent results under optimal operating conditions. However, when subjected to disturbances or deviations from the equilibrium point, it showed poor performance and sometimes instable behavior. Employing a nonlinear MPC Controller in real time was not possible due to the high computational effort involved. The RL controller exhibits by far the most versatile and robust control behavior. When operated in the simulation environment, it achieved a high control accuracy. When employed in the real system, however, it only shows average accuracy and a significantly greater performance loss compared to the simulation than the traditional controllers. With MATLAB, it is not yet possible to directly post-train the RL controller on the Raspberry Pi, which is an obstacle to the practical application of RL in a prototyping or teaching setting. Nevertheless, RL in general proves to be a flexible and powerful control method, which is well suited for complex or nonlinear systems where traditional controllers struggle.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KramerBragardRitzetal.2024, author = {Kramer, Pia and Bragard, Michael and Ritz, Thomas and Ferfer, Ute and Schiffers, Tim}, title = {Visualizing, Enhancing and Predicting Students' Success through ECTS Monitoring}, series = {2024 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)}, booktitle = {2024 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York, NY}, issn = {2165-9559}, doi = {10.1109/EDUCON60312.2024.10578652}, pages = {5 Seiten}, year = {2024}, abstract = {This paper serves as an introduction to the ECTS monitoring system and its potential applications in higher education.

ToF sensors provide full range distance information at high frame-rates and thus have a significant impact onto current research in areas like online object recognition, collision prevention or scene reconstruction. However, ToF cameras like the photonic mixer device (PMD) still exhibit a number of challenges regarding static and dynamic effects, e.g. systematic distance errors and motion artefacts, respectively. Sensor calibration techniques reducing static system errors have been proposed and show promising results. However, current calibration techniques in general need a large set of reference data in order to determine the corresponding parameters for the calibration model. This paper introduces a new calibration approach which combines different demodulation techniques for the ToF- camera 's reference signal. Examples show, that the resulting combined demodulation technique yields improved distance values based on only two required reference data sets.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BragardSoltauDeDonckeretal.2010, author = {Bragard, Michael and Soltau, N. and De Doncker, R.

It is driven by the need for developing and applying solutions for digital production. Digitization receives constantly increasing attention in many areas, especially in industry. The common theme is to make things smart by using intelligent computer technology. Especially in the last decade there have been many attempts to improve existing processes in factories, for example, in production logistics, also with deploying cyber-physical systems. An initiative that explores challenges and opportunities for robots in such a setting is the RoboCup Logistics League. Since its foundation in 2012 it is an international effort for research and education in an intra-warehouse logistics scenario. During seven years of competition a lot of knowledge and experience regarding autonomous robots was gained. This knowledge and experience shall provide the basis for further research in challenges of future production. The focus of our SMART-FACTORY is to create a stimulating environment for research on logistics robotics, for teaching activities in computer science and electrical engineering programmes as well as for industrial users to study and explore the feasibility of future technologies. Building on a very successful history in the RoboCup Logistics League we aim to provide stakeholders with a dedicated facility oriented at their individual needs.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FerreinPotgieterSteinbauer2009, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Potgieter, Anet and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {Self-aware robots - What do we need from learning, deliberation, and reactive control?}, series = {HYCAS 2009 : International Workshop on Hybrid Control of Autonomous Systems : Integrating Learning, Deliberation and Reactive Control : Pasadena, Calif., 13 July 2009}, booktitle = {HYCAS 2009 : International Workshop on Hybrid Control of Autonomous Systems : Integrating Learning, Deliberation and Reactive Control : Pasadena, Calif., 13 July 2009}, publisher = {AAAI Pr.}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BragardKoellenspergerDeDoncker2007, author = {Bragard, Michael and K{\"o}llensperger, P. and De Doncker, R.

The competency driven approach including technical as well as professional skills makes it necessary to find a suitable way for the integration into the corresponding module in a scalable and flexible manner. Agile development, for example, is essential for the development of modern systems and applications and makes use of dedicated professional skills of the team members, like structured group dynamics and communication, to enable the fast and reliable development. This paper presents an easy to integrate and flexible approach to integrate Scrum, an agile development method, into the lab of an existing module. Due to the different role models of Scrum the students have an individual learning success, gain valuable insight into modern system development and strengthen their communication and organization skills. The approach is implemented and evaluated in the module Vehicle Systems, but it can be transferred easily to other technical courses as well. The evaluation of the implementation considers feedback of all stakeholders, students, supervisor and lecturers, and monitors the observations during project lifetime.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchmiegelKochDittmeretal.2010, author = {Schmiegel, A. and Koch, K. and Dittmer, M. and Braun, M. and Landau, M. and Dick, C. and Bragard, Michael and [u.a.],}, title = {Das Sol-ion System : ein System zur Optimierung des Eigenverbrauchs von PV-Strom}, series = {Photovoltaische Solarenergie : 25.
