Game-based human-robot interaction with the UR12e at TTZ Nürnberger Land: Tic-Tac-Toe with camera-based board detection, game logic and safe robot control as an approachable robotics demo — optionally extendable to chess.

Analysis, technical revision, and recommissioning of a mobile C-arm robot with mecanum drive, including possible mechanical modifications and validation of system and driving behaviour.

Comparison of centralised and decentralised (emergent) coordination strategies for heterogeneous robot fleets in production environments. Simulation in ROS 2 / Gazebo, multi-agent reinforcement learning, validation on real hardware at TTZ.

Commissioning of the Reachy Mini (Pollen Robotics) at TTZ Nürnberger Land and development of an HMI application for natural human-robot interaction — e.g. visitor system, speech interaction, or emotional expression.

Development and evaluation of methods for robot-based handling of flexible materials (films, textiles, cables). Focus by agreement: specialised grippers (hardware) or learning-based control / simulation (software). Implementation in a real robot cell at TTZ.

Coordinated light image generation with Crazyflie drone swarms through predefined flight patterns and long-exposure photography. Trajectory planning, collision avoidance and synchronisation at AerodrOHM.

Survey of SMEs in the Nürnberger Land region on the adoption of new technologies (AI, robotics, automation). Methodical preparation of surveys and expert interviews, evaluation and classification of results.

Building a 2R robot arm with BLDC motors as an M-IAS lab experiment: model-based gravity compensation and reinforcement learning demo with ROS integration and simulation support.
