I am a diploma student working in the HRI Group at the Max-Planck-Institut for Biological Cybernetics led by Dr. Paolo Robuffo Giordano.

Currently I am working on a simulation environment called SwarmSimX. SwarmSimX is used within the HRI Group as a development and testing environment for a group of micro aerial vehicles (MAV). The focus of SwarmSimX is to provide a highly modular simulation framework that allows for simulating physical and visual properties of a virtual environment in real-time.

Below you can see a video of a quadcopter flying in the Multi-Agent-Lab (MAL) of the Max-Planck-Institute for biological cybernetics. The quadcopter is controlled by a program that uses the desired position and velocity of a recorded flight of a real quadcopter as control input.
