IAA 2018

•••4••• Innovationen Messe-Rundgang zur Anzeigen-Spezial IAA Nutzfahrzeuge 2018 Autonomous explorers Scientists present smart commercial vehicle models in Hall 13 A multitude of technology is hid- den in the small blue model ve- hicles: The computer scientists around Professor Dr. Karsten Berns have removed the origi- nal remote control. “We have re- placed it by a microcomputer that controls the motor and speed controller,” says Berns, who heads the Robotics Research Lab at the TUK and conducts research at the Centre for Commercial Vehi- cle Technology (ZNT). The roof is equipped with a spe- cial camera that detects struc- tures in the surrounding area. Another camera is located in the driver’s cab. “The two camera sys- tems provide the minicomputer with colour samples and 3D imag- es,” continues Berns. “With this data, it assembles an image of the surroundings and identifies the direction the vehicle must take.” Further sensor and measuring systems are necessary so that the models can drive autonomously: On both sides they are equipped with infrared sensors and on the front and back side with ultrason- ic sensors. “This makes it possible, for exam- ple, to measure the distance to a possible obstacle such as a wall,” says doctoral student Steffen Hemer. In addition, the vehicles are equipped with speed and accelera- tion sensors. The computer scien- tists have equipped four of these models with their technology. Berns and his team are research- ing the next generation of com- mercial vehicles on the TUK cam- pus – from drum rollers that drive autonomously in the convoy and compact a new road surface, to cranes that unload their loads themselves while “keeping a very close eye” on their surroundings, to excavators that independently load trucks with sand. But before the vehicles are test- ed on roads, fields, forests, and meadows, the computer scien- tists check their sensor, measure- ment, and camera systems used in their techniques in simulations and with the help of models. The Kaiserslautern computer scien- tists develop their autonomous vehicles in such a way that they should be able to decide for them- selves which route they take, i.e. to decide, for example, to avoid an obstacle or to drive over it if it is a larger stone or a small branch on the forest floor. The small commercial vehicle models are equipped with sen- sor, measurement, and camera systems and can thus explore their surroundings autonomously.
