Vita

Sebastian Mai studied computer science in Magdeburg beginning in the B.Sc. in 2010 and graduating as M.Sc. in 2018. During that time he designed and manufactured the FINken robots for Flying swarm and was a memeber of Netz 39 e.V. Now he is working as a research and teaching associate. His main areas of research are Swarm Intelligence and Robotics.

 

Research

Research Direction

I study swarm robotics in theory, simulation and on real hardware. The goal of my research is to find navigation strategies of individual robots with local communication which lead to optimal behaviour for large groups of agents.
