Female CNI Graduate Honored with Award for Valedictorians

The student of Information Technologies Sarah Gillet has been honored with the Award for Valedictorians by the Gesellschaft der Freunde der Technischen Universität Dortmund e.V. for her bachelor thesis with the title „Kommunikationssensitive Navigationsplanung für agentenbasierte UAV Schwärme“ which she conducted at the Communication Networks Institute. The paper was written in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Heiko Krumm (LS IV). The operation planning of the networked robotic system, which had been investigated as part of the research, is based on decentralized bidding and electoral procedures. Due to the mostly self-organizing manner of the measuring robots, the emergency task force is supposed to be optimally supported in emergency aid operations, for example in order to quickly locate buried people or to measure pollution without endangering the rescuers themselves.
