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 Autonomy and Remote Programming department develops control systems for complex movements on multi-armed robots with many degrees of freedom. The tasks range from simple motion sequences to autonomous planning of complex manipulation tasks. Research is also being conducted into the control of robots on flexible, high-performance computing platforms under realtime conditions.
Your tasks
- Analyse state-of-the-art motion planning methods focussing on applicability and limitations for reactive mobile manipulation
- Integrate parallelized motion planning methods for mobile manipulators into existing in-house software
- Design experiments to evaluate the integrated methods, both in simulation and for real systems
- Conduct experiments on mobile manipulators to verify reactive behavior of the integrated motion planning methods
Your profil
- You are currently enrolled in a Master's programme in Robotics, computer science or a similar field
- Programming experience in Python and C++
- Practical experience with complex robotic systems
- Experience in working with Linux (Ubuntu) and Git
- Previous knowledge of motion planning for robot systems
- Very good knowledge of English and/or German
Remuneration is based on qualifications and classification up to pay group 5 TVöD.
We look forward to getting to know you!
