Communication Networks / Multimedia Communications Lab

Buecherregal

Guidelines for Theses

Formal requirements for students for the execution of Bachelor Theses, Master Theses, Studienarbeiten at the Multimedia Communications Lab (KOM) under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ralf Steinmetz.

This information is meant as an overview of requirements, helpful tips, and notes for the application, registration, writing, submission, and presentation of theses at KOM. This is by no means complete nor legally binding. Always regard the current information provided by the University and your department.

Primarily, students from the departments (Fachbereiche) 1, 18, 20, and related study courses can write their thesis at KOM. The duration of a thesis depends on several factors like department, course of study, and part-time or full-time study.

Choice of Topic

Available topics can be found on poster displays at KOM or posted in Open Theses . Furthermore, students may propose their own topics within the field of research of the respective scientists . Topic-related questions can be discussed directly with the respective supervising scientist. In our lab, we provide theoretically and practically oriented theses. We also provide sufficient numbers of computers and workplaces in our student laboratories, enabling the completion of the implementation and writing entirely at KOM.

Expectation

Students are expected to independently acquire and portray the current scientifical and technological state-of-the-art (related work). All sources and references must be correctly cited (see information on Plagiarism ).

The search for scientific publications , like articles in journals or workshop and conference proceedings, can be supported by using search engines like TUbiblio by the ULB or Google Scholar . General statistical data can be found for example at Statista . In addition to the advice of respective supervisors, the university’s SchreibCenter  provides a broad range of support for writing a thesis.

Registration

The official start of a thesis has to be registered at the examination management office (Prüfungssekretariat) in the respective department. In some cases, Studienarbeiten must also be registered.

Students must inform themselves of the respective process and requirements for starting and registering their thesis. KOM will not undertake any verification step to see whether a student is eligible to perform a thesis. See your examination office for more information.

Examination Terms

The General Examination Terms of the Technical University of Darmstadt  ( Allgemeinen Prüfungsbestimmungen der TUD, APB ) contain the regulations for examinations and theses effective for the entire university.

This page gives only a short overview of some important topics. The  English translation  is for information purposes only. The legally binding document is the  German version . See  Rules and Regulations  for an overview of available documents.

The following passages are excerpts of the English version of the APB:

" §38 Cheating and unlawful behavior

(1) In the event that cheating or any other infringements by a student in an examination situation comes to light, this examination shall be declared “insufficient”. The respective examiner shall decide in such cases, together with the responsible examination committee in case of doubt.

(2) The submission of a false declaration according to §§22 par. 7, 23 par. 7, the submission of another author’s work, a re-working of another author’s work, or a restructuring of another work, in whole or in part, in a graded paper is considered cheating (plagiarism)."

Note : Plagiarism is cheating and not tolerated! All passages of a text that are not originally from the specified author of the text must be clearly marked as such. Every work performed at KOM—theses, seminars, labs, etc.—is checked for plagiarism. See our  information page on Plagiarism .

" §23 Final thesis

(7) The candidate must submit two printed copies of the final thesis for the examiners and one electronic version. If the thesis contains models or other material that cannot be represented in a text document, these must be submitted in an appropriate format, such as an image document. The corrected copy of the final thesis can be made part of the examination folder. All theses shall be saved electronically in the university files. The administration office will decide the details of this procedure. Upon submission of the final thesis, the candidate grants the university the right to store the thesis electronically in the State Library of Darmstadt (Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt)."

Note : Theses must be timely submitted electronically via TUbama , otherwise the thesis is immediately graded a 5.0! Furthermore, students must submit up to two written and signed copies at KOM, depending on the type of thesis and the department. Besides the general examination terms, specific regulations for each department and course of study may be applicable. Students are responsible to meet the given deadlines and also have to check that their submission meets all requirements for themselves.

3) Philipps-Universität Marburg

Example for a decision structure about plagiarism

Formal requirements for the written thesis

Each written thesis must adhere to the following requirements. Additional requirements may be defined by supervisors.

  • Adequate length , especially but not limited to, including an adequate overview and discussion of related work
  • Declaration about the thesis (Ehrenwörtliche Erklärung). Students must check before submitting their thesis, that the given declaration meets the latest update given by the university or their department. Consult your supervisor in case of uncertainty.
  • List of contents
  • Introduction
  • Background & related work
  • Assessment of available approaches and definition of the research gap
  • Own concept/approach/design in context of the research gap
  • Implementation. Ask your supervisor and see the  Google Style Guides  for information on how to properly style your code.
  • Conclusion and future work
  • Guidelines for bibliographies (German)
  • Google Scholar  and common bibliography tools provide possibilities to correctly export citations or citation files.
  • Configuration files
  • (technical) specifications
  • additional figures or plots
  • performed surveys or survey data
  • evaluation data
  • (optional) index, list of abbreviations, list of figures, list of tables
  • Font size 11pt
  • Figures integrated and used within the text
  • Chapter structure not deeper than 3 layers (e.g., Chapter 1.2.3.)
  • 1 author = First three letters of author + Year [Aaa21]
  • 2–4 authors = First letter of each author + Year [ABCD21]
  • >4 authors = First letter of first three authors, "+", + Year [ABC+21]
  • Equal abbreviations are distinguished by annotating a, b, c, and so on [ABC+21a, ABC+21b]
  • Alphabetically listed sources

Students are provided a LaTeX Template for Student Theses (Steinmetz) and a LaTeX Template for Thesis Projects (Scheuermann) at KOM. Students can also find examples for good theses .

Students may write their thesis in German or English. However, we strongly encourage all students to write their thesis in English.

In addition to the electronic submission in TUbama and to the respective supervisors, students must submit up to two printed and signed copies of their thesis. The concrete number depends on the type of thesis and the department, consult your supervisor. Print version requirement

  • Double-sided A4
  • Glue binding (Leimbindung) with black binding
  • Black back cover
  • Transparent front cover sheet

Formal requirements for thesis presentations

Each thesis at KOM is completed by a final presentation with a student audience . It gives a detailed overview of the conducted work as well as the result of the thesis. The primary function of the final presentation is to provide students with the possibility to exercise the preparation of slides and presentation of their work. Therefore, each student must attend final presentations of other students as well. The final presentation is graded differently depending on the type of thesis and department.

Anmerkung für Studierende des FB 1: Der Vortrag ist kein Prüfungsgespräch.

An optional intermediate presentation providing an introduction to the topic, related work, and envisioned approach may be held for the scientific staff at KOM. It provides the students with the possibility to present and discuss their work within a small scientific audience.

Students shall use the Presentation Template (Steinmetz) or Presentation Template (Scheuermann) . The presentation should have a maximum length of 20 minutes . In case this length is exceeded, the presentation may be aborted by the supervisor. Presentation slides shall be in English . The oral presentation may be either in German or English.

The following structure of the presentation can be used as reference.

  • Title slide, including student name and supervisors
  • Motivation and goal of the thesis
  • Possible environments, frameworks, parameters of the thesis
  • Related work and available approaches to similar problems
  • possible approaches to the problem
  • current state, open issues
  • further tasks, time plan
  • applied approach to the problem
  • implementation and evaluation
  • result of the thesis and resolved issues
  • future work, open issues, further ideas
  • Conclusion of the presentation

Notes on preparing and designing presentations

(partially taken from "Mixtur für einen guten Vortrag" by Markus Roggenbach, University of Mannheim)

Number of slides:  To prevent a "slide movie", each slide should contain an adequate amount of information which results in approximately 1 – 3 minutes of presentation time for a slide.

Preparation of the talk:  Thinking is faster than talking. Loudly exercise the oral presentation beforehand so you know how long the presentation actually takes and to gain confidence in your given talk.

Design of presentation slides:  Slides should support the presentation, not replace it. Neither should the presentation slides be empty and without any information, nor should every detail be described in the slides but not used in the presentation. A common but severe mistake are remarks like: “The rest can be taken from the slides”. Usually, slides are overloaded. The audience requires a significant amount of time to conceive the previously unknown slides. Thus, slides should preprocess and comprehensibly portray the most important aspects for the presenter. The structure of content must be implemented by graphical segmentation, like using different colors and fonts or the indentations of lists or notes. A well-used graphical representation or visualization can help to easily convey complex issues. Generally speaking: a picture is worth a thousand words.

Giving the talk: To overcome initial nervosity, it is often helpful to formulate and exercise the first few sentences of the presentation. This at least saves the beginning of the talk. But beware of simply reading off from your notes! This will result in a monotonous presentation style and a dull presentation for your audience. A motivated and energetic presentation style is key for a memorable presentation. Additionally, do not read off all information from your slides. They should contain only the most important notes and no full sentences in the first place.

General hint: If Siri or Alexa could present your slides by reading the content, it is most probably not a good presentation. Another common mistake is that speakers stand in front of their slides and obstruct the audience’s view. To overcome this issue, it may help to purposely pick a spot with an adequate distance to, e.g., the projection surface. This also helps to face the audience, not the presentation slides. If you point at specific parts of a slide, keep in mind not to obstruct the view to the part you are pointing out.

Thesis topics

Modern domain decomposition methods in both space and time.

Bachelor thesis, Master thesis, Projectseminar, HiWi Position

Parallel algorithms play an increasingly vital role in both research and industry for accelerating simulations. Domain Decomposition methods (DDMs), such as nonoverlapping Schwarz or Dirichlet-Neumann/Neumann-Neumann methods, are effective approaches for introducing spatial concurrency, thereby facilitating parallel computations. When the problems under examination are not only spatially dependent but also time-dependent, waveform relaxation enhances information exchange between different time steps [2, 3]. This, in turn, enhances additional concurrency in time when combined with Parareal methods.

The objective of this project is to implement selected algorithms from the provided references and evaluate their performance using discretized benchmark problems.

Implementation of an Eigenfrequency-Based Deformation Identification for RF Cavities

Seminar paper, Bachelor thesis, Proseminar, Projectseminar

In particle accelerators, commonly multi-cell resonating structures are used, e.g. the superconducting 9-cell TESLA cavity. Such devices are manufactured from niobium sheets which are deep-drawn and welded together. During this welding process, misalignment occurs at the joints of the individual components, which leads to deviations from the desired eigenfrequencies and field patters, which negatively influences the accelerating performance of the electromagnetic cavities.

In order to quantify these uncertainties,700 observations are available from measurements at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) and found seven uncorrelated deformation variables to describe the cell misalignment.

The purpose of this thesis is to develop an optimization algorithm which allows for conclusions from the measured eigenfrequencies to the deformations of the cavity under consideration. To this end, the closed-form sensitivities with respect to the deformation variables should be used. Using these, an efficient optimization routine should be implemented to identify the misalignment.

Development of a Stream Function Approach for Accelerator Magnet Design using the Bembel C++ Library

Bachelor thesis

The determination of optimal current distributions on given surfaces is often the starting point for the electromagnetic design of coil dominated electromagnets utilized, e.g. in particle accelerators and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Geometrical and mechanical constraints as well as the particle beam size determine the coil winding surface, on which an optimal current density is to be determined.

In this Bachelor thesis, a stream function approach for the determination of optimal current densities on given surfaces shall be developed and implemented in Bembel, the BEM-based engineering library, see www.bembel.eu . The goal is an automated generation of winding paths, on given surfaces and field quality requirements.

Algorithm comparison for the determination of toroidal harmonics

The classical way of expressing the field uniformity in accelerator magnets is by means of the Fourier coefficients of the trigonometric eigenfunctions of the Laplace equation also known as multipoles. When the magnets are curved (Fig. 1), higher-order terms appear and the scaling laws derived for straight magnets are no more applicable. The field reconstruction from field simulations or magnetic measurements should therefore be based on the eigenfunctions of the Laplace equation in the toroidal coordinate system, so called toroidal harmonics.

TU Darmstadt, together with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) formulated a linear inverse problem to determine the toroidal harmonics from the magnetic flux density.

In this thesis, different algorithms to solve this inverse problem shall be studied and compared on magnetic flux density measurements.

Axisymmetric Finite Element Models of No-Insulation High-Temperature Superconducting Coils

Bachelor thesis, Master thesis, Projectseminar

High-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials are a promising technology for high-field magnets in particle accelerators. In particular, no-insulation (NI) coils, i.e., coils wound without turn-to-turn insulation, have gained popularity due to their robustness [1]. Numerical methods such as the finite element (FE) method play a key role in developing HTS-based applications. The objective of this project is to extend CERN’s existing open-source Finite Element Quench Simulation (FiQuS) framework with 2D axisymmetric FE models of NI coils [2]. Since they are more efficient but less general than existing 3D models, they will complement the latter as an important tool in FiQuS to analyze NI coils. Following FiQuS’s ideals, a key aspect will be to hide the complexities CERN of the FE formulation from the users who are typically not FE experts.

Circuit Coupling for CERN’s Finite Element Quench Simulation (FiQuS) Framework

CERN started a project last year to build a comprehensive open-source quench simulation tool called FiQuS (Finite Element Quench Simulation). It is based on the finite element (FE) framework ONELAB and written mostly in Python. The idea is to build a flexible tool which allows users to build and simulate complex models from human-readable inputs hiding the complexity of the FE kernel. In order to simulate real-world accelerator magnet circuits, this project aims at coupling FE magnet models from FiQuS with electric circuits [1], which can then be solved by circuit simulators such as Xyce. A key aspect will be to hide the complexities of this coupling from the users who are typically not FE experts.

Directional H2-Matrices for High-Frequency Electromagnetics

Master thesis

Solving partial differential equations numerically with boundary element methods requires the application of fast methods to be competitive with other numerical methods. At high-frequencies, the existing implementation of H2-matrices breaks down and needs to be adapted in order to work efficiently.

The idea of the approach is to approximate a spherical wave in far distance hierarchically by plane waves. The implementation is carried out in the C++ library Bembel, see www.bembel.eu .

Gradient-Based Optimization of Electric Machines with Analytic Sensitivities and Isogeometric Analysis

Electric energy conversion is a key issue on the way to decarbonization. Computational design and optimization of electric motors is a very active research area with the aim to increase the efficiency and power density of electric drives. Yet, optimization in commercial solvers is often performed using time-consuming methods such as surrogates or genetic algorithms, taking days or weeks for one optimization.

This work combines the modeling of the motor using Isogeometric Analysis (IGA), which allows to exactly represent the geometry, with fast gradient based optimization. By using present state-of-the-art numerical modeling techniques together with efficient optimization algorithms, it is possible to reduce the optimization time to several minutes.

Magneto-Mechanical Coupling of an Electric Motor with Isogeometric Finite Elements

The need for higher energy efficiency and decarbonization give rise to a steadily increasing importance of electric drives. Simulations allow the physical limits to be pushed in order to increase the power density and make motors more cost-efficient. This work aims to investigate the influence of mechanical stresses in electric motors on the electromagnetic behavior and find out how stress dependent material properties can be mitigated or exploited. Simulations are performed in an Finite Element (FE) framework using Isogeometric Analysis (IGA), which allows to exactly represent the geometry. This enables an efficient coupling of the geometric, magnetic and mechanical systems.

Importance Sampling for Failure Probability Estimation

Seminar paper, Bachelor thesis, Master thesis, Projectseminar

Deviations in the manufacturing process of electronic components may lead to rejections due to malfunctioning. Uncertain design parameters (i.e. geometrical and material parameters) can be modeled as random variables. Then, the failure probability of a realization can be estimated. A standard approach for estimating failure probabilities is a Monte Carlo analysis. In a Monte Carlo analysis a large number of sample points is generated according to a given probability distribution. The percentage of sample points not fulfilling some predefined performance feature specifications denotes the failure probability. In order to obtain a reliable estimation, a large number of sample points is required. This leads to high computing costs, since for each sample point a PDE must be solved, e.g. with the finite element method (FEM). Current research deals with the reduction of computational effort. Importance sampling is an approach to reduce the number of FEM evaluations by generating sample points in critical regions with a higher probability.

Robust Shape Optimization of Electric Machines

Bachelor thesis, Master thesis

Due to the growing importance of e-mobility, the efficient simulation and optimization of electric energy converters, in particular electric machines, is becoming increasingly important. In the manufacturing process of these electric machines imperfections and small deviations from the nominal design can occur. In the worst case, these imperfections can lead to a significant decrease in quality or even failure of the machine. To avoid this, the machine can be optimized robustly, i.e., considering the deviations in the machine design. Robust optimization aims to find a machine design which is robust in terms of deviations from the nominal design, i.e., to find an optimum in terms of a goal function J which does not deteriorate significantly for small changes in the design parameters p , compare Fig. 2. In this project an electric machine is simulated using isogeometric analysis and the shape of the machine shall be optimized robustly considering uncertainties, using uncertainty quantification methods like the Monte Carlo method.

Queryella: data flow analysis platform.

Bachelor Thesis, Master Thesis

Queryella is a project to extend the current state of data flow analysis for apps. To be able to combine the different types of analytics, we are building a platform that allows arbitrary compositions of such analytics. The platform will support the development of static, dynamic and hybrid analytics to evaluate apps' handling of sensitive data against current security and privacy criteria. Not only Android or iOS apps should be analyzed, but we should be able to evaluate any application or web interface in the future.

In the context of this project, we are always in search of students who have a strong interest in data flow analysis. Potential topics may include the identification of sources and sinks for sensitive data, the development of pre-analyses to reduce the runtime of the actual data flow analysis, the development of evaluation criteria for security or privacy issues, or the visualization of analysis results.

If you are looking for a topic that will have an impact on the future handling of sensitive data, do not hesitate to contact Leonid Glanz.

Developing RL environment for code intelligence task

Master Thesis

Current code models use text-based signals (such as next token prediction or masked language modelling) in an unsupervised setting to pretrain the models followed by fine-tuning with a labelled dataset. While this has produced good performance, it has its limitations. CodeRL, on the other hand, uses reinforcement learning with feedbacks from unit tests to train an agent to generate code given a prompt. However, unit tests don’t capture all the information about code and are not always available.

The thesis will focus on developing an environment, that gives feedback through program analysis, within which an agent can learn to perform different tasks. Prior experience with program analysis would be required to work on this thesis.

Supervisor : Abhinav Ananad, M.Sc.

Retriveal-augmented code models

State-of-the-art models for code generation and understanding, such as CodeBERT and CodeT5, are basically LLMs designed for natural language (BERT, T5) but trained on a large corpus of code. However, LLMs are known to hallucinate, i.e, they often produce sentences and information that are factually incorrect. One way to prevent, or at least reduce the impact of, hallucination in LLMs is to augment them with information retrieval.

It is currently not known if these models hallucinate when used for code intelligence tasks too. The thesis would focus on developing methods to understand hallucinations in the models. Further, explore the possibilities of retrieval-based augmentation to reduce the effect of hallucinations.

Type Inference for Tractable Probabilistic Programming

In Probabilistic Programming, dedicated programming languages provide the means to describe the structure of a stochastic process and to then use machine learning to learn the parameters of that process from data. Usually, these languages use approximate methods to ensure tractability. We can however also use exact tractable models for this task.

To this end, the set of legal programs needs to be restricted, preferably at compile time. This restriction can be seen as a type inference problem, where types represent the permitted operations and algorithms of an expression.

The topic of this thesis is to find a way to express these restrictions as a type inference problem, for example as a Hindley-Milner type system.

Supervisor : David Richter, M.Sc.

Open Analyses Library

OPAL is a comprehensive library for static analyses that is developed in Scala to facilitate the writing of a wide range of different kinds of analyses. OPAL supports the development of analyses ranging from bug/bug pattern detection up to full-scale data-flow analyses.

In the context of this project we are always searching for students who are interested in static analysis and want to implement them using Scala. Topics of interest are, e.g., to develop needed base static analyses such as Call Graph Algorithm, analyses to find security issues or to visualize software.

Reengineering of Industrial C Code

Sofware based systems already play a major role in industrial production and this role will only grow in the context of Industrie 4.0. In order to solve new challenges that arise in this context, existing software has to be adapted in different directions, e.g. to enable the addition of new sensors or enable the creation of a digital twin. For this purpose, we want to uncover Software Product Line features and models, which are already present implicitly, and make them explicit. Therefore the development of corresponding analyses and automatic refactorings is necessary.

Candidates would work on different topics that enable software reuse of industrial controllers written in C.

These topics include (but are not limited to):

• automatic identification and localization of features

• automatic code slicing of identified features

• adaption of analyses to the presence of C preprocessor macros

• automatic module extraction

Currently Open Theses Topics

We offer these current topics directly for Bachelor and Master students at TU Darmstadt who can feel free to DIRECTLY contact the thesis advisor if you are interested in one of these topics. Excellent external students from another university may be accepted but are required to first email Jan Peters before contacting any other lab member for a thesis topic. Note that we cannot provide funding for any of these theses projects.

We highly recommend that you do either our robotics and machine learning lectures ( Robot Learning , Statistical Machine Learning ) or our colleagues ( Grundlagen der Robotik , Probabilistic Graphical Models and/or Deep Learning). Even more important to us is that you take both Robot Learning: Integrated Project, Part 1 (Literature Review and Simulation Studies) and Part 2 (Evaluation and Submission to a Conference) before doing a thesis with us.

In addition, we are usually happy to devise new topics on request to suit the abilities of excellent students. Please DIRECTLY contact the thesis advisor if you are interested in one of these topics. When you contact the advisor, it would be nice if you could mention (1) WHY you are interested in the topic (dreams, parts of the problem, etc), and (2) WHAT makes you special for the projects (e.g., class work, project experience, special programming or math skills, prior work, etc.). Supplementary materials (CV, grades, etc) are highly appreciated. Of course, such materials are not mandatory but they help the advisor to see whether the topic is too easy, just about right or too hard for you.

Only contact *ONE* potential advisor at the same time! If you contact a second one without first concluding discussions with the first advisor (i.e., decide for or against the thesis with her or him), we may not consider you at all. Only if you are super excited for at most two topics send an email to both supervisors, so that the supervisors are aware of the additional interest.

FOR FB16+FB18 STUDENTS: Students from other depts at TU Darmstadt (e.g., ME, EE, IST), you need an additional formal supervisor who officially issues the topic. Please do not try to arrange your home dept advisor by yourself but let the supervising IAS member get in touch with that person instead. Multiple professors from other depts have complained that they were asked to co-supervise before getting contacted by our advising lab member.

Imitation Learning for High-Speed Robot Air Hockey

Scope: Master thesis Advisor: Puze Liu and Julen Urain De Jesus Start: ASAP Topic:

High-speed reactive motion is one of the fundamental capabilities of robots to achieve human-level behavior. Optimization-based methods suffer from real-time requirement when the problem is non-convex and contains constraints. Reinforcement learning requires extensive reward engineering to achieve the desired performance. Imitation learning, on the other hand, gathers human knowledge directly from data collection and enables robots to learn natural movements efficiently. In this paper, we explore how imitation learning can be performed in a complex robot Air Hockey Task. The robot needs to learn not only low-level skills, but also high-level tactics from human demonstrations.

Requirements

  • Strong Python programming skills
  • Knowledge in Machine Learning / Supervised Learning
  • Good Knowledge in Robotics
  • Experience with deep learning libraries is a plus

Walk your network: investigating neural network’s location in Q-learning methods.

Scope: Master thesis Advisor: Theo Vincent and Boris Belousov Start: Flexible Topic:

Q-learning methods are at the heart of Reinforcement Learning. They have been shown to outperform humans on some complex tasks such as playing video games [1]. In robotics, where the action space is in most cases continuous, actor-critic methods are relying on Q-learning methods to learn the critic [2]. Although Q-learning methods have been extensively studied in the past, little focus has been placed on the way the online neural network is exploring the space of Q functions. Most approaches focus on crafting a loss that would make the agent learn better policies [3]. Here, we offer a thesis that focuses on the position of the online Q neural network in the space of Q functions. The student will first investigate this idea on simple problems before comparing the performance to strong baselines such as DQN or REM [1, 4] on Atari games. Depending on the result, the student might as well get into MuJoCo and compare the results with SAC [2]. The student will be welcome to propose some ideas as well.

Highly motivated students can apply by sending an email to [email protected] . Please attach your CV and clearly state why you are interested in this topic.

Scaling Behavior Cloning to Humanoid Locomotion

Scope: Bachelor / Master thesis Advisor: Joe Watson Added: 2023-10-07 Start: ASAP Topic: In a previous project [1], I found that behavior cloning (BC) was a surprisingly poor baseline for imitating humanoid locomotion. I suspect the issue may lie in the challenges of regularizing high-dimensional regression.

The goal of this project is to investigate BC for humanoid imitation, understand the scaling issues present, and evaluate possible solutions, e.g. regularization strategies from the regression literature.

The project will be building off Google Deepmind's Acme library [2], which has BC algorithms and humanoid demonstration datasets [3] already implemented, and will serve as the foundation of the project.

To apply, email [email protected] , ideally with a CV and transcript so I can assess your suitability.

Robot Gaze for Communicating Collision Avoidance Intent in Shared Workspaces

Scope: Bachelor/Master thesis Advisor: Alap Kshirsagar , Dorothea Koert Added: 2023-09-27 Start: ASAP

master thesis tu darmstadt

Topic: In order to operate close to non-experts, future robots require both an intuitive form of instruction accessible to lay users and the ability to react appropriately to a human co-worker. Instruction by imitation learning with probabilistic movement primitives (ProMPs) [1] allows capturing tasks by learning robot trajectories from demonstrations including the motion variability. However, appropriate responses to human co-workers during the execution of the learned movements are crucial for fluent task execution, perceived safety, and subjective comfort. To facilitate such appropriate responsive behaviors in human-robot interaction, the robot needs to be able to react to its human workspace co-inhabitant online during the execution. Also, the robot needs to communicate its motion intent to the human through non-verbal gestures such as eye and head gazes [2][3]. In particular for humanoid robots, combining motions of arms with expressive head and gaze directions is a promising approach that has not yet been extensively studied in related work.

Goals of the thesis:

  • Develop a method to combine robot head/gaze motion with ProMPs for online collision avoidance
  • Implement the method on a Franka-Emika Panda Robot
  • Evaluate and compare the implemented behaviors in a study with human participants

Tactile Sensing for the Real World

Topic: Tactile sensing is a crucial sensing modality that allows humans to perform dexterous manipulation[1]. In recent years, the development of artificial tactile sensors has made substantial progress, with current models relying on cameras inside the fingertips to extract information about the points of contact [2]. However, robotic tactile sensing is still a largely unsolved topic despite these developments. A central challenge of tactile sensing is the extraction of usable representations of sensor readings, especially since these generally contain an incomplete view of the environment.

Recent model-based reinforcement learning methods like Dreamer [3] leverage latent state-space models to reason about the environment from partial and noisy observations. However, more work has yet to be done to apply such methods to real-world manipulation tasks. Hence, this thesis will explore whether Dreamer can solve challenging real-world manipulation tasks by leveraging tactile information. Initial results suggest that tasks like peg-in-a-hole can indeed be solved with Dreamer in simulation (see figure above), but the applicability of this method in the real world has yet to be shown.

In this work, you will work with state-of-the-art hardware and compute resources on a hot research topic with the option of publishing your work at a scientific conference.

Large Vision-Language Neural Networks for Open-Vocabulary Robotic Manipulation

master thesis tu darmstadt

Robots are expected to soon leave their factory/laboratory enclosures and operate autonomously in everyday unstructured environments such as households. Semantic information is especially important when considering real-world robotic applications where the robot needs to re-arrange objects as per a set of language instructions or human inputs (as shown in the figure). Many sophisticated semantic segmentation networks exist [1]. However, a challenge when using such methods in the real world is that the semantic classes rarely align perfectly with the language input received by the robot. For instance, a human language instruction might request a ‘glass’ or ‘water’, but the semantic classes detected might be ‘cup’ or ‘drink’.

Nevertheless, with the rise of large language and vision-language models, we now have capable segmentation models that do not directly predict semantic classes but use learned associations between language queries and classes to give us ’open-vocabulary’ segmentation [2]. Some models are especially powerful since they can be used with arbitrary language queries.

In this thesis, we aim to build on advances in 3D vision-based robot manipulation and large open-vocabulary vision models [2] to build a full pick-and-place pipeline for real-world manipulation. We also aim to find synergies between scene reconstruction and semantic segmentation to determine if knowing the object semantics can aid the reconstruction of the objects and, in turn, aid manipulation.

Dynamic Tiles for Deep Reinforcement Learning

master thesis tu darmstadt

Linear approximators in Reinforcement Learning are well-studied and come with an in-depth theoretical analysis. However, linear methods require defining a set of features of the state to be used by the linear approximation. Unfortunately, the feature construction process is a particularly problematic and challenging task. Deep Reinforcement learning methods have been introduced to mitigate the feature construction problem: these methods do not require handcrafted features, as features are extracted automatically by the network during learning, using gradient descent techniques.

In simple reinforcement learning tasks, however, it is possible to use tile coding as features: Tiles are simply a convenient discretization of the state space that allows us to easily control the generalization capabilities of the linear approximator. The objective of this thesis is to design a novel algorithm for automatic feature extraction that generates a set of features similar to tile coding, but that can arbitrarily partition the state space and deal with arbitrary complex state space, such as images. The idea is to combine the feature extraction problem directly with Linear Reinforcement Learning methods, defining an algorithm that is able both to have the theoretical guarantees and good convergence properties of these methods and the flexibility of Deep Learning approaches.

Deep Learning Meets Teleoperation: Constructing Learnable and Stable Inductive Guidance for Shared Control

This work considers policies as learnable inductive guidance for shared control. In particular, we use the class of Riemannian motion policies [3] and consider them as differentiable optimization layers [4]. We analyze (i) if RMPs can be pre-trained by learning from demonstrations [5] or reinforcement learning [6] given a specific context; (ii) and subsequently employed seamlessly for human-guided teleoperation thanks to their physically consistent properties, such as stability [3]. We believe this step eliminates the laborious process of constructing complex policies and leads to improved and generalizable shared control architectures.

Dynamic symphony: Seamless human-robot collaboration through hierarchical policy blending

This work focuses on arbitration between the user and assistive policy, i.e., shared autonomy. Various works allow the user to influence the dynamic behavior explicitly and, therefore, could not satisfy stability guarantees [3]. We pursue the idea of formulating arbitration as a trajectory-tracking problem that implicitly considers the user's desired behavior as an objective [4]. Therefore, we extend the work of Hansel et al. [5], who employed probabilistic inference for policy blending in robot motion control. The proposed method corresponds to a sampling-based online planner that superposes reactive policies given a predefined objective. This method enables the user to implicitly influence the behavior without injecting energy into the system, thus satisfying stability properties. We believe this step leads to an alternative view of shared autonomy with an improved and generalizable framework.

Feeling the Heat: Igniting Matches via Tactile Sensing and Human Demonstrations

In this thesis, we want to investigate the effectiveness of vision-based tactile sensors for solving dynamic tasks (igniting matches). Since the whole task is difficult to simulate, we directly collect real-world data to learn policies from the human demonstrations [2,3]. We believe that this work is an important step towards more advanced tactile skills.

Inverse Reinforcement Learning for Neuromuscular Control of Humanoids

Within this thesis, the problems of learning from observations and efficient exploration in overactued systems should be addressed. Regarding the former, novel methods incorporating inverse dynamics models into the inverse reinforcement learning problem [1] should be adapted and applied. To address the problem of efficient exploration in overactuted systems, two approaches should be implemented and compared. The first approach uses a handcrafted action space, which disables and modulates actions in different phases of the gait based on biomechanics knowledge [2]. The second approach uses a stateful policy to incorporate an inductive bias into the policy [3]. The thesis will be supervised in conjunction with Guoping Zhao ( [email protected] ) from the locomotion lab.

Incorporating First and Second Order Mental Models for Human-Robot Cooperative Manipulation Under Partial Observability

Scope: Master Thesis Advisor: Dorothea Koert , Joni Pajarinen Added: 2021-06-08 Start: ASAP

master thesis tu darmstadt

The ability to model the beliefs and goals of a partner is an essential part of cooperative tasks. While humans develop theory of mind models for this aim already at a very early age [1] it is still an open question how to implement and make use of such models for cooperative robots [2,3,4]. In particular, in shared workspaces human robot collaboration could potentially profit from the use of such models e.g. if the robot can detect and react to planned human goals or a human's false beliefs during task execution. To make such robots a reality, the goal of this thesis is to investigate the use of first and second order mental models in a cooperative manipulation task under partial observability. Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) and interactive POMDPs (I-POMDPs) [5] define an optimal solution to the mental modeling task and may provide a solid theoretical basis for modelling. The thesis may also compare related approaches from the literature and setup an experimental design for evaluation with the bi-manual robot platform Kobo.
