A shared cyber-physical research facility.
The FLW team created a flexible environment for motion tracking, robot experiments and self-organizing transport demonstrations. It was a team infrastructure project, not an individual installation.
Project 03 · Cyber-physical test field
Drone swarm & motion capture
Making coordinated autonomy observable and repeatable.
An indoor research environment for tracking autonomous robots, coordinating UAV experiments and validating cyber-physical logistics systems.
The test field
A logistics hall made measurable.
The facility combines infrared motion capture, RGB sensing and an open experimental area for mobile robots and autonomous UAVs. It supports repeatable indoor experiments without relying on GPS.
- 54 IR
- historical camera configuration
- 8 RGB
- additional cameras
- 50+
- tracking cameras commissioned
The exact camera configuration refers to the documented historical setup. In my CV, I describe experiments with up to twelve UAVs.
Attribution
Commissioning and coordinated flight experiments.
I helped commission and integrate the motion-capture system and worked on coordinated experiments with up to twelve indoor UAVs within the chair’s wider research team.
Experimental work
Track, coordinate, validate.
The environment provided precise reference data for developing and assessing autonomous behavior.
Commission the tracking system
Bring a large multi-camera installation into operation as dependable experimental infrastructure.
Coordinate indoor UAVs
Work on experiments in which multiple aircraft shared transport tasks in a controlled indoor environment.
Validate repeatably
Use motion-capture reference data to observe system behavior and compare repeated trials.
Public evidence
Facility and research context.
TU Dortmund sources document the hall, its cyber-physical research concept, the camera infrastructure and coordinated drone work. I contributed to commissioning the motion-capture system and to experiments with coordinated UAVs.
