Thesis: Manipulator Kinematics Evaluation (m/f/d)

We are looking for creative and team-oriented individuals who want to help shape the future-oriented topics of tomorrow today.

The kinematics of robotic arms are a fundamental consideration in the design of modern industrial and collaborative robots. However, there are only limited and quantitative ways to compare different kinematic structures objectively. The aim of this thesis is therefore to develop a concept and/or tool that solve the automated and objective evaluation of different robot kinematics.

Your tasks Research and define suitable metrics for the comparative evaluation of robot kinematics Analyze workspaces, manipulability indices and singularities of different robotic arms Investigate established robot kinematics, search as UR5 and Franka Research, as well as custom kinematic structures Build a database of existing robot structures and their associated metrics Develop a tool for automated analysis and comparison of different robot kinematics Optional: Develop additional evaluation metrics and an approach for reading the most suitable kinematics for a specific task

What you can bring You are currently in a bachelor's or master's degree programme in mechanical engineering, robotics or a comparable field You have an interest in robotics, kinematics, mathematical modelling and technical analysis Ideally, you have initial knowledge of robotics frameworks (e.g. ROS), simulation environments (e.g. Gazebo) and programming languages (e.g. Python and/or C++) You work in a structured, independent and analytical manner You are creative, a team player, quick to grasp new concepts and have strong communication skills

Look forward to We'll take the time to take you along on our projects and to embed your thesis into our projects You will be monitored and supported by experienced employees Motivated team: Become part of a motivated and highly qualified team Personal and professional development: shape your professional development in a supportive environment Shared challenges: Look forward to mastering the challenges of the future together with us
