The Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics develops robots that enable people to interact with the environment more efficiently, effectively and safely. The robots are designed to work in environments that are inaccessible or dangerous for humans, but also to support and relieve people at work and in everyday life.
What to expect
The Embedded and Distributed Systems Group within the Autonomy and Remote Programming Department of the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics develops software components that enable the Institute’s researchers to work with robotic systems at a level abstracted from the hardware. This includes, for example, the provision of real-time operating systems, device drivers and inter-process communication via middleware.
Your tasks
- Developing new and maintaining existing embedded real-time Linux applications in robotic systems
