Susanne Radtke, Benjamin Noack, and Uwe D. Hanebeck receive the Fusion 2020 Best Paper Award: General Category for the paper Fully Decentralized Estimation Using Square-Root Decompositions. Certificate (PDF)
Dr. Igor Gilitschenski becomes tenure track assistant professor for robotics at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto and at the Department of Mathematical and Computational Sciences at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM). He obtained his PhD degree at ISAS in April 2015 with the thesis Deterministic Sampling for Nonlinear Dynamic State Estimation.
Michael Fennel joins the ISAS lab.
Uwe D. Hanebeck is now author and coauthor of more than 500 publications in various high-ranking journals and conferences.
The project "Embedded AI in a Box" has successfully participated in the innovation competition "KI für KMU" funded by the Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Arbeit und Wohnungsbau Baden-Württemberg. Industrial partners are: Knowtion UG in Karlsruhe and endiio GmbH in Freiburg.
The lab has acquired a new multi-GPU server equipped with four high-end graphics cards, which will significantly simplify and accelerate the work on computationally intensive methods. Especially research related to deep learning applications will benefit from the new server. The server is equally accessible for both employees and students.

At 25.06.2019 the kickoff event of the project ROBDEKON took place at the Fraunhofer Institute IOSB in Karlsruhe. The aim of this BMBF-funded project is to investigate autonomous and semi-autonomous robot systems for decontamination in misanthropic environments.
Current work on ROBDEKON was broadcast on television.
Dr.-Ing. Florian Pfaff was awarded with the SICK-science award 2018 for the Best Dissertation for his PhD thesis "Multitarget Tracking Using Orientation Estimation for Optical Belt Sorting".
The award ceremony will take place during the „50 Jahre Informatik“ celebrations on June 19 at the KIT.
The projects "Distributed Multi-Target Pose Estimation and Collaborative Mapping Using Heterogeneous Sensor Networks" (Kailai Li), "Detektion und Klassifikation von Systemanomalien mit Hilfe von Machine Learning" (Jana Mayer), OptInfNet: Optimale Informationsfusion in intelligenten Sensornetzwerken" (Susanne Radtke) and "Reinforcement Learning für die Regelung mechatronischer Prozesse mit wenigen unsicheren Daten" (Johannes Westermann) are currently supported under the "Software Campus" initiative.
