Grassroots Initiative: Accountable Control
The aim of this project is to ensure accountability of cyber-physical feedback systems by studying the interplay of optimization-based trajectory generation and logical disturbances with discrete decision making at the highest layer of the control hierarchy.

KIWi: AI-enhanced simulation for lifetime extension of wind energy systems
Within the joint project KIWi, data-based and physics-based modeling techniques are combined to develop a model correction and to perform parameter identification of inexact models. This is a prerequisite for a more precise prediction of loads in wind turbines, by which, eventually, a lifetime extension can be realized.

Actively deformable cannulas for stereotactic neurosurgery
In this interdisciplinary project - jointly proposed by physicians, engineers, and mathematicians - the feasibility of actively deformable cannulas for stereotactic neurosurgery is assessed. The technique will offer a multitude of alternative routes and planning possibilities to reach a target with considerably reduced risk by avoiding eloquent structures, i.e. fiber bundles of the pyramidal tract and blood vessels.

Intelligent design assistance for personalized medical surgery based on concentric tube continuum robots
This project develops a design assistant tool for concentric tube continuum robots to be used in deep-brain neurosurgery. Following the systematic design methodology in systems engineering, our approach is fundamentally based on 1) accurate models of the robots behavior and 2) mathematical optimization.
Finalized

GROKO-Plan: GRaph-based, Optimal and COoperative Trajectory planning for Interacting Automobiles
This project aims at developing a graph-based planning method for optimal cooperative trajectories for interacting vehicles. Our research includes the theoretical analysis as well as the practical implementation of a distributed cooperative trajectory planning method, which will be validated for a cooperative traffic intersection scenario on different test platforms.
