Short Biography

Florian Rohrmüller (*1981) was from 2007 to 2011 research assistant at the Institute of Automatic Control Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany. He received his doctor degree in Electrical Engineering in 2011 from the Technische Universität München. His research interests include autonomous mobile robotics and decision making in multi-robot systems under uncertainty.

He received the diploma engineer degree (Dipl.Ing.) in Electrical Engineering in 2007 from the Technische Universität München. The diploma thesis project was carried out at BMW Group Forschung und Technik, Munich, Germany in the field of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) research.

He received the bachelor of science degree (B.Sc.) in Electrical Engineering in 2005 from the Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany. The bachelor thesis was performed at the Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore, Singapore in the field of DNA Sequence Analysis.

He is now with MellonTec.

 

Research Interests
Working Fields

Involved in the following projects:

  • The Autonomous City Explorer (ACE) [completed in Aug 2008]

    Over the course of almost two years we built an autonomous mobile robot that is capable of navigating in an unknown urban environment, based only on information extracted through interaction with passers-by and its local perception capabilities (i.e. no GPS and no map knowledge). On 31 August 2008 ACE successfully found its way from TUM to the central square of Munich.

    More details on www.ace-robot.de.

  • The Multi-Robot Lab (MuRoLa)

    The focus of the MuRoLa project is on tight cooperation among multiple robots and humans. Research interests include distributed decision making and cooperative execution of tasks.
