Seminar Humanoid Robots (Freiburg, Summer 2006)

The first part of this seminar addresses some perceptual capabilities a robot must possess that interacts with humans and acts in their environments. Topics are for example gesture recognition, face detection and tracking, facial feature tracking/face recognition, vision-based localization and mapping, and semantic labeling of places.

In the second part, the generation of actions for humanoid robots is covered. Topics are related to bipedal walking, gait optimization, navigation, imitation learning, and playing soccer.
