M.Sc. Thomas Witte

My main research focus lies in improving the usablility and explainablility of robotic systems (ROS) using dynamic value tracking and dynamic architecture analysis. By annotating values from different sources with location information, we can create new user interfaces that allow the parametrization of our robots from higher abstraction levels, e.g. manipulating the source of a robot mission through its live visualization.

In our quadcopter lab, I supervise various student projects on changing topics. The lab offers a tangible approach to various software engineering concerns and robotics problems.
