Internship Robotics Engineering | Systemd-based process management for ROS 2
- Starting in September
- Oldenzaal, Overijssel
- Internship allowance
To know where our camera is with respect to our robot arm, we perform hand-eye calibration. After transport or impact, the camera may have moved slightly, so we redo the calibration just to be sure.
This takes quite some time, so it would be nice to have a method to determine why this is necessary.
Your assignment
Your task will be to think of a method to determine the quality of the calibration and whether it is still valid. Once you've found a method (or methods), you will set up a proof-of-concept and validate this in simulation and with a real robot setup.
Workflow
In our team, we work with the Agile/SCRUM workflow. We have a daily stand-up with the robotics team to share progress and identify obstacles. At the end of every 3-week sprint, you will present your results of the current sprint and your plans for the next sprint. One of the robotics engineers will serve as your daily supervisor and main contact. You will have weekly one-on-one meetings for more in-depth discussions, and of course you can always reach out to your colleagues for support.
The team
We are a team of highly motivated robotics engineers working on various R&D projects such as the apple picking robot, metal recycling systems, and autonomously agricultural robots. We develop software for manipulation, vision, and navigation, primarily using C++ and ROS2, and focus on delivering robust solutions that can be deployed in real-world environments.
What can you expect from us?
A challenging internship with flexible working hours and a flexible start date. You will work in an organization that values enjoyment, collaboration, and solidarity. The atmosphere at RIWO ensures that you will feel at home during your internship and be able to be yourself.
We also offer:
- Guidance from experienced developers;
- A monthly internship allowance;
- Use of a RIWO bicycle for commuting between the train station and RIWO;
- The possibility of employment after graduation.
