We are happy to share that our student Samuel Parra was honoured with this year’s “DAAD award for outstanding achievements of international students.”
This marks the second year in a row in which an MAS student has won the award, as Ganesamanian Kolappan got the award in 2020.
Congratulations to Samuel!

The MAS student Kaushik Manjunatha was recently part of a team that participated at the ML2R Autumn School 2021, together with students from TU Dortmund University, the TU Cluj-Napoca, and TU Munich. The focus of the autumn school was on using machine learning for solving bin packing problems.
The team won the “Autumn School Compactness Award” for their work. Congratulations!

At the recent workshop on Semantic Policy and Action Representations for Autonomous Robots (SPAR), which took place online in conjunction with the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), Alex Mitrevski, Prof. Plöger, and Prof. Lakemeyer (RTWH Aachen) presented an extended abstract about their recent work on models for semantic robot execution:
A. Mitrevski, P. G. Plöger, and G. Lakemeyer, “Hybrid Execution Models of Parameterised Actions for Explainable and Diagnosable Robot Action Execution”
For this, they obtained joint 2nd place for the best poster award! This award is given out as an Amazon gift certificate.
