Internship or Thesis Project
at
German Aerospace Center (DLR), Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany
on
Cooperative Robotics with "Simple" Robots
Project Description:
We are starting a project to explore cooperative tasks that can be
performed by "simple" mobile robots with low degrees of freedom (< 6
DoF) The robots should consist of a rolling platform (2 DoF) and with
a manipulator onboard (<4 DoF).
Your task in this project will be to help us spearhead this
investigation by building models to study different aspects of
multiple robots working together to achieve a common task. These
aspects include, but are not limited to:
* Cooperative manipulation
* Reconfigurability
* Cartesian coordinate frame definition
* Task planning
We are looking for a candidate in the area of Engineering, Computer
Science, Physics, or a related field with the following criteria:
* An interest in robotics
* Matlab/Simulink
* C/C++
* Previous experience in multi-body simulation software such as
SIMPACK or Modelica/Dymola is desired, but not required
* Some experience with robotics is desired, but not required
* Ability to learn on the go
Please send us your resume if you are interested in this position to
the email address below. We will determine the suitable position type
(thesis project or internship) based on your interests and a
discussion with you.
Desired start date:
December 2011/January 2012
Duration:
3 to 6 months
