Dr. Michael Suppa is a leading expert in robot perception and visiting professor at the University of Bremen. He worked as project manager and researcher at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in the research areas: robotic exploration, 3-D vision, and data fusion. From 2009 until 2015, he was the Head of the Department Perception and Cognition, a recognized world leader on key robotic research topics such as complex scene analysis, perception for resource-limited systems and robotic cognition. In March 2015 he co-founded Roboception, a DLR spin-off company devoted to advancing the State-of-the -Art in 3D sensors and vision.

The lecture covers all important aspects of 3D semantic perception with a high focus on applicability and real world tasks. Some of the topics covered by the lecture:

• Introduction to 3D
• Features and Descriptors
• From features to semantics
• Scene registration – RGBD SLAM
• Handling uncertainty in 3D
• Perception Systems
• Convolutional Neural Networks
• and more

Three out of the four assignments must be submitted on time to enter to oral exam. Assignments will not be graded, but they will form a basis for discussion during the oral exam

The order and date of exercises is subject to change. Check back regularly.
