About us
Our group conducts research at the intersection of ubiquitous / smart systems and human-computer interaction. We address both basic research questions and questions that arise in context-specific applications.
The goal 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 in the loop and in control. Especially in the age of increasing automation and more autonomous systems, this is a growing challenge.
In our research, we therefore develop and evaluate novel systems and forms of interaction that aim to improve human-technology interaction and collaboration and to enable simple, safe and positively experienced interaction.
One focus of our current research is in the field of future intelligent and connected mobility as an application context for digital assistance and automation. Here, we address various topics and forms of mobility. In the BMBF-funded SteigtUM! project, we consider and solve informatics and interaction questions around a rental system for electric cargo bikes and scooters. In addition, we are very actively involved in research around the topic of automated driving. In this area, we are looking on the one hand at how the occupants of future automated vehicles interact with the vehicle and how future non-driving-related tasks can be supported by interactive systems. On the other hand, we explore how to design the interaction between automated vehicles and other (vulnerable) road users such as cyclists and pedestrians.
In our projects around our firefighter apps (FwA 16/2), we develop apps for Android and iOS, which support fire departments in practical operations with digital functions. This includes, for example, information on hazardous materials, vehicle information (rescue data sheets) or water collection points. The apps are used in productive operations throughout Saxony and soon also in Thuringia.
Final theses
You are you looking for a thesis topic (Bachelor / Master / Diploma) at the Institute of Computer Science? We are 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
