NimbRo is the robot competition team of the Autonomous Intelligent Systems lab of University of Bonn, Germany.
The lab is part of the Computer Science Institute VI – Intelligent Systems and Robotics, which is headed by Prof. Dr. Sven Behnke.
NimbRo has
extensive experience and outstanding success with robotics competitions
and challenges:
These successes are based on contributions to science that are reflected in a large number of publications. Main research areas are computer vision, mapping and localization, locomotion and manipulation planning, and deep learning.
NimbRo has developed intuitive robotic telepresence systems for domestic service, space exploration, and disaster response.
