Viennainvites applications for a Master Thesis. At the
Center for Vision, Automation & Controlour research unit "
Complex Dynamical Systems” focuses its research on modelling, simulation, analysis and optimization, as well as on the control of complex and dynamical industrial systems and processes. The primary goal is to enhance product quality, increase flexibility, and boost resource efficiency. Applications are found in the fields of mechatronics, robotics, and industrial production facilities.
In forestry, most activities are still carried out manually or by machines that are operated directly by a person. Forestry cranes are mounted on trucks and completely folded in during transportation. To load tree trunks onto the truck with the crane, the crane must be unfolded in advance. If the forestry crane is equipped with the necessary sensors and control technology, this work step can be automated. In the course of this master thesis, an assistance system for the automated folding and unfolding of forestry cranes is to be developed. The trajectories are to be determined by solving an optimal control problem based on the dynamic model of the crane. On the one hand, care must be taken to ensure that the singularities of the joints can be safely overcome and, on the other hand, that no collisions with the environment or self-collisions occur.
