About this role
<p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">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.</span></p><p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>What to expect </strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">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.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Your tasks</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Analyse state-of-the-art motion planning methods focussing on applicability and limitations for reactive mobile manipulation</span></li> <li style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Integrate parallelized motion planning methods for mobile manipulators into existing in-house software</span></li> <li style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Design experiments to evaluate the integrated methods, both in simulation and for real systems</span></li> <li style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Conduct experiments on mobile manipulators to verify reactive behavior of the integrated motion planning methods</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Your profil</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">You are currently enrolled in a Master's programme in Robotics, computer science or a similar field</span></li> <li style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Programming experience in Python and C++</span></li> <li style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Practical experience with complex robotic systems</span></li> <li style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Experience in working with Linux (Ubuntu) and Git</span></li> <li style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Previous knowledge of motion planning for robot systems</span></li> <li style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Very good knowledge of English and/or German</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Remuneration is based on qualifications and classification up to pay group 5 TVöD.</span></p> <p> </p><p><span id="cke_bm_7743S" style="display:none"> </span><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">We look forward to getting to know you!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">If you have any questions about this position (<strong>Vacancy-ID <strong>5383</strong></strong>) please contact:</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Prof. Dr. Alin Olimpiu Albu-Schäffer</strong></strong></strong> </strong></span><br><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Tel.: +49 8153 28 3689 </span></p>
