• 2020, Bc. Ladislav Hric – Algorithms for Controlled Reversing of a Towed Cart behind an AGV System
  • The master’s thesis focuses on the design and implementation of algorithms for stable and accurate controlled reversing of a towed cart behind an AGV system, with emphasis on suppressing jackknifing of the vehicle combination. The solution includes kinematic modeling of the system, design of a control algorithm, and its experimental validation in a real operational environment.
• 2024, Andrii Oleksyk – Comparison and Application of ROS 1 and ROS 2 Frameworks
  • The bachelor’s thesis focuses on comparing the architecture, communication mechanisms, and deployment possibilities of the ROS 1 and ROS 2 frameworks in robotic applications. The work includes practical implementation of a selected robotic system in both environments and evaluation of differences in terms of performance, reliability, and scalability.
• 2026, Bc. Erik Drajna – MappView: A Modern GUI for PLC Systems
  • The master’s thesis focuses on the design and implementation of a modern graphical user interface in the mapp View environment for PLC systems, with emphasis on clarity, safety, and efficient operation of technological processes. The work includes the design of the visualization architecture, implementation of HMI components, and functional validation on a real or simulated industrial device.
