• Implemented advanced vision-based visual localization that can cope with long-term changes in a scene.
• Integrated computationally efficient algorithms suitable for robots with low-cost embedded hardware (i.e., lawnmowers).
• Planned and conducted simulation studies; analyzed the implemented concepts.
• Maintained a long-term image database with an outdoor robot.
• Visualized, analyzed, and documented the scientific results.
• Contributed to the development of 8 publications.

Frankfurt Am Main Area, Germany

• Demonstrated proficiency with visual self-localization, navigation, and outdoor robotics.
• Reviewed literature on deep-learning for visual localization.
• Compiled results of end-to-end learning for localization on custom datasets.

Offenbach Area, Germany

• Garnered experience with live navigation on a service robot.
• Implemented a system that exploits the properties of slowness learning to perform robot navigation in the representation space.
• Executed system testing on a lawnmower robot in an indoor environment.
• Created planning-free robust robot navigation in open spaces and around obstacles.

• Completed condition invariant visual localization using slow feature analysis.
• Reviewed and interpreted existing literature on place recognition and spatial learning.
• Implemented a hierarchical learning system that estimates a camera's position from an image.
