Theses

Master Thesis (Bremen, 2006) (pdf)   [an experimental evaluation of how the proposed DCCP with TFRC interacted with voice transmission at that time]
Bachelor Thesis (Bremen, 2004) (pdf)   [concerns small, motivated robots that want to be noticed from high above - this part is about seeing them]

Class Projects (undergrad fun)

Wavelets and Image Compression (pdf)    [probably the shortest introduction to the subject, not by experts]
Self-Organizing Maps miniproject (pdf)    [if you ever wanted to know how the post office does not read your handwriting this is your chance]

Robocup Team (more undergrad fun)
