HiWi-Job – AI-based Robotics: Actuated Foosball Table

02.07.2024

The Institute of Mechatronic Systems (IMS) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt has a vacancy for a HiWi position.

To develop robust AI-driven technologies for robotics we are commissioning a physical foosball table, with up to four actuated and sensorized rods that can be controlled by policies – trained on a sophisticated digital twin.

Tasks

You will be part of our small robotics research team. Your main responsibility is?the commissioning of the hardware setup, including the actuation system for?three rods, the communication to the learning environment and the integration?of the new components into the existing test rig and simulation model.

Background

Advanced knowledge in mechatronics and experience in ?working with hardware.?Curiosity, positivity and interest in research.

Begin

The project runs from 08/2024 to 07/2025.

Duration and working time negotiable.
