About us
In our working group, we conduct research at the intersection of ubiquitous and smart computer systems and human-computer interaction. We deal with both basic research questions and questions that arise in context-specific applications.
The aim of our research is to understand how ubiquitous computer systems can be used to support people in their tasks and activities while keeping people themselves at the centre of responsibility. Especially in the age of increasing automation and autonomous systems, this is a growing challenge.
In our research, we are therefore developing and evaluating novel systems and forms of interaction that aim to improve human-technology interaction and collaboration and enable simple, safe and positive interaction.
Our current research focuses on the area of future intelligent and networked mobility as an application context for digital assistance and automation. We are looking at various topics and forms of mobility. In the SteigtUM! project, we are analysing and solving IT and usage aspects of a rental system to be established for electric cargo bikes. We are also very actively involved in research into the topic of automated driving. In this area, we are looking at how the occupants of future automated vehicles will interact with the vehicle and how future non-driving-related tasks can be supported by interactive systems. On the other hand, we are researching what the interaction between automated vehicles and other (unprotected) road users such as cyclists and pedestrians should look like.
As part of the projects for the firefighter app, we are driving forward the development of this app, which supports fire services in practical operations with digital functions. This includes, for example, information on hazardous substances, vehicle information (rescue data sheets) or water collection points. The apps are in productive use throughout Saxony and Thuringia.
Final theses
Are you looking for a thesis (Bachelor / Master / Diploma) at the Institute of Computer Science? We would be happy to discuss possible topics in a personal meeting. Current topics include:
- Human-computer interaction: e.g. new (e.g. multimodal) interaction techniques and devices
- Ubiquitous computing & mobility: How can technology be used to make cycling more attractive and safer, for example?
- Automotive User Interfaces: How do we interact with and in (automated) vehicles of the future
- Current issues relating to the firefighting app
- Human-robot interaction/collaboration: How can humans and technology interact and collaborate with each other safely, efficiently and with a positive experience
