Vita
Tim Braun studierte bis 2003 Informatik an der Technischen Universität Darmstadt. 2001 absolvierte er zwei Semester an der University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Kanada). Seine Diplomarbeit wurde Ende 2003 im Fachgebiet Graphisch-Interaktive Systeme der TU Darmstadt angefertigt und befasst sich mit der automatischen Lokalisierung von Gesichtern in digitalen Videoströmen. Im Dezember 2003 wurde er als Promotionsstudent in das Promotionsprogramm der TU Kaiserslautern aufgenommen und forschte bis Ende 2009 am Lehrstuhl Robotersysteme von Prof. Dr. Karsten Berns. Seine Forschungsinteressen liegen unter anderem im Bereich der vollautonomen Navigation mobiler Offroad-Roboter mittels topologischer Karten sowie der Entwicklung effizienter Bildverarbeitungsverfahren zur Umgebungsanalyse. Im Rahmen seiner Promotion arbeitete Tim Braun hauptsächlich an dem Projekt 'RAVON' des Lehrstuhls mit, in dem Verfahren zur Navigation in stark bewachsenem Gelände gesucht werden. Weiterhin war er an einer Reihe von Studienprojekten im Bereich der Landwirtschaftsautomatisierung aktiv beteiligt.
