Internship - Smart Robotic Sensor Benchmarking and Control (m/w/x)

Your role

With us, you have the opportunity to perfectly combine your studies with practical experience while actively contributing to exciting projects. This allows you to gain valuable skills, expand your network, and grow both professionally and personally.

Benchmark a prototype smart sensing system against high-precision external reference measurements

Design and execute robot accuracy experiments inspired by industrial robot performance standards

Analyze positioning accuracy, repeatability, trajectory-following error, and dynamic behavior

Develop Python-based tools for data acquisition, synchronization, visualization, and statistical evaluation

Support the development of inverse kinematics, trajectory generation, and robot calibration routines

Compare commanded, internally estimated, and externally measured robot positions

Prepare clear scientific plots, reports, and presentations to communicate experimental results

Your profile

You are enrolled in a master's degree in robotics, mechatronics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, control engineering, automation, or a related field

Strong proficiency in Python and/or C++, with demonstrable hands-on project experience

Good understanding of robot kinematics, coordinate transformations, and 3D geometry

Basic knowledge of control engineering, including PID control and motion-profile generation

Practical hands-on experience with experimental setups, sensors, actuators, or robotic systems
