Indoor service robots need perception that is robust, more privacy-friendly than RGB video, and feasible on embedded hardware. We present a camera-free 2D LiDAR object detection pipeline that encodes short-term temporal context by stacking three consecutive scans as RGB channels, yielding a compact YOLOv8n …

Methane, the primary component of natural gas, emits less carbon dioxide than other petroleum-based fuels but faces challenges in efficient storage and transportation. Advanced adsorption materials provide a safe and cost-effective solution, with metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) emerging as promising …

The demand for assistive technology is expected to rise alongside the increasing care needs of aging populations. Ambient intelligence, particularly context awareness, offers potential benefits in addressing challenges faced by the healthcare system. In dementia care, context awareness can facilitate …

Reinforcement learning offers a promising approach for personalized, early-stage detection of behavioral events such as agitation in individuals with dementia, particularly when contextual insights from care staff are integrated. Given the scarcity and the ethical constraints of real-world agitation …

This seminar presents a multidisciplinary research path connecting materials science, nanotechnology, and sensor systems. It begins with earlier work on the development and characterization of functional materials, focusing on lead-free piezoelectric materials. The second part introduces ongoing research …
