How can satellites, robots, and smart sensors help us better understand our planet?
My name is Marco Schmidt; I am a professor at Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg and lead the Embedded Systems and Sensors for Earth Observation (ESSEO) research group. Together with my team, we develop technologies at the intersection of space science, robotics, and computer science for Earth and environmental observation. Our work ranges from the development of small satellites and networked sensor systems to new methods for the efficient processing of large remote sensing datasets. All projects are situated within the context of space informatics and combine theoretical foundations with concrete applications.
You can find an overview of our projects here.
