Our work spans robotic autonomy, AI-supported decision-making, and XR-enabled control concepts. This internship addresses humanoid robotics in environments relevant to exploration: locomotion on uneven terrain in our lunar analogue facility, operation under extreme conditions like the lunar south pole, and collaboration with humans in shared workspaces. A particular focus is exploring XR-based teleoperation and supervision of humanoid robots, including predictive simulation approaches that compensate for pronounced communication delays in off-Earth scenarios. Additionally, a key objective is to integrate modern AI methods into…
