Akademy 2024 will take place at JMU
05/04/2024The University of Würzburg (Chair of Robotics), will be hosting "Akademy 2024. Akademy is the annual world summit of KDE, one of the largest Free Software communities in the world. It is a free, non-commercial event organized by the KDE Community. Hundreds of attendees from the global KDE Community, the broad free and open-source software community, local organizations, and software companies will gather in Würzburg, Germany, and virtually from Saturday, September 7th, to Thursday, September 12th, for the annual conference 'Akademy 2024.'
moreAMADEE-24 is a Mars simulation conducted in a desert in Armenia. The expedition serves as an authentic trial run for the astronautic exploration of the Red Planet.
moreThis paper presents Uni-Fusion, a universal continuous mapping framework for surfaces, surface properties (color, infrared, etc.) and more (latent features in contrastive language-image pretraining (CLIP) embedding space, etc.). This is the first universal implicit encoding model that supports encoding of both geometry and different types of properties (RGB, infrared, features, etc.) without requiring any training.
moreESA Underwater VR
12/04/2023Würzburg computer scientists take a dive -- research study on the use of VR technology in astronaut training concludes. In view of the many possibilities that swimming pools offer for the training of divers or astronauts, a group of researchers led by Prof. Andreas Nüchter has investigated the use of virtual reality (VR) in astronautics.

The paper titled "Online Learning of Neural Surface Light Fields alongside Real-time Incremental 3D Reconstruction" proposes a novel Neural Surface Light Fields model that copes with the small range of view directions while producing a good result in unseen directions. Exploiting recent encoding techniques, the training of our model is highly efficient.
