What You'll Do

  • You will develop and implement a proof of concept (POC) for the autonomous use of a humanoid robot in industrial applications.
  • You will create datasets that the robot uses to learn new skills.
  • You will investigate how a humanoid robot can independently recognize, grasp, position, and prepare components for downstream manufacturing processes.
  • You will train and fine-tune AI models for controlling a humanoid robot.
  • You validate your results using real-world industrial applications, such as in the context of laser or ECM systems.

What You Can Do

  • You want to do more than just study new technologies in theory—you want to put them into practice and test them.
  • You have an analytical approach and can break down complex technical problems in a focused manner.
  • You have some experience in one or more of the following areas: robotics, automation technology, computer vision, artificial intelligence, software development, machine learning, mechatronics, robot control
  • You enjoy contributing your own ideas and developing innovative solutions.

What You Bring to the Table

  • Currently pursuing a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, automation technology, robotics, mechatronics, computer science, software engineering, or a related field.
  • Ideally, some prior experience with robotics frameworks, image processing, or software development.
  • Ability to work independently and a passion for interdisciplinary collaboration.
  • You are passionate about robotics, autonomous systems, and industrial automation.
  • Excellent written and spoken German and English skills.

What We Offer You

  • A practical master’s thesis with a direct connection to real-world industrial applications.
  • Collaboration on a cutting-edge robotics project at ARENA2036 in Stuttgart.
  • Access to state-of-the-art research and development infrastructure.
  • Direct collaboration with experts from industry and research.
  • A high degree of creative freedom and the opportunity to bring your own ideas to life.
  • The prospect of long-term collaboration after successfully completing your degree.
