René Wagner

René Wagner with TUM's PR2 James at CoTeSys-ROS Fall School 2010

is an external Ph.D. student in Prof. Udo Frese's Multi-Sensor Interactive Systems Group (formerly Real-Time Computer Vision Group).

René Wagner studied computer science in Bremen and, through the EU Erasmus Programme, in Cardiff. He received his degree in computer science (Diplom-Informatiker) from University of Bremen in January 2010. His thesis (Diplomarbeit) focused on repeating the Grand Challenge experiment on a smaller scale with a robotic vehicle based on an R/C car autonomously traversing an accordingly down-scaled “race track” consisting of a network of sidewalks or paths in a public park.

René Wagner has also actively contributed to a variety of open source projects in the embedded and handheld computing space including but not limited to LCDproc, GPE, Familiar, and OpenEmbedded. More information on the latter activities can be found here on René's personal home page.
