About Me
Hi, I’m Klaus - Vienna-based PhD student in EE.
I’m currently working on artificial intelligence, computer vision & sensor fusion. During my studies I’ve primarily been working on industrial applications and got interested in perception.
One day I'll leave the applied fields for more fundamental work, such as locomotion for bipeds / quadrupeds or perception in the drone space.
Projects
.
Learning more about probabilistic robotics, SLAM and disaster / rescue robotics in general.
Experience
Rosenbauer is the world’s leading manufacturer of systems for firefighting and disaster protection. For more than 150 years, the name has stood for significant innovations and ground-breaking technology in the manufacture of firefighting vehicles and extinguishing systems in accordance with European and US standards..
At the department of research & innovation I work on sensor integration and environmental detection for mission support systems. Using Linux as my daily driver, I’m working with ROS all day, writing code in mostly Python & C++. Further, I get hands-on experiences in motor control using CAN bus and network sockets.
Knorr-Bremse has pursued a single mission for over 110 years: to make mobility on roads and railways safe, sustainable and environmentally friendly. Today the Knorr-Bremse Group, based in Munich, is the world’s leading manufacturer of braking systems and a leading supplier of safety-critical sub-systems for rail and commercial vehicles..
As a working student I was responsible for the documentation of testing equipment.
There I have mainly created manuals and pneumatic plans, but also created a few machine vision applications for automated testing operations using industrial cameras.
Education
University West
MSc Robotics and Automation
09/2020 - 09/2023
Established in 1990, University West is a modern university in Sweden and is widely regarded in terms of its intensive research at the Production Technology Center together with companies such as ABB, Volvo and GKN Aerospace.
During my time at University West I learnt most of my key skills such as software development fundamentals of image processing, as well as working to tight deadlines. I thouroughly enjoyed my time as university and learnt a lot about a healthy work life balance.
I spent a lot of my free time supporting lecturers throughout their courses online and taking on roles such as Teaching Assistant and Seminar Leader where I led discussions on courses and student talks.
A Little More About Me
When I’m not working, I serve as VP for the great science festival Pint of Science Austria, where I also organize and occasionally host tech-related scientists to present their work, or manage analogue research projects at the Austrian Space Forum.
The little time I have left spend on a mixture of:
- What “little” time is left, you dummy?
-
Photography -
3D printing (Elegoo Mars Pro) -
3D-Modelling in my favorite modeller BLENDER -
Image editing in Affinity Suite and Adobe Lightroom as well as -
Video editing in Vegas and Final Cut
