Position: Working Student (HiWi) – Robotics Full-Stack for Mobile Manipulators (Husky Platform)
Supervisor: Panagiotis Petropoulakis
Chair: Prof. Dr.-Ing. André Borrmann, Chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Start: Winter Semester 2025
Location: TUM Main Campus

Overview

Join our robotics team to develop autonomous mobile manipulation on a Clearpath Husky platform with a 6-DOF arm. You will work across the entire robotics software stack—simulation, perception, planning, and control—using ROS2, Gazebo, and modern machine learning tools.

Available Topics

• Simulation & System Integration: Extend and maintain the simulation environment in ROS2/Gazebo. Implement new features, fix bugs, and ensure seamless integration between perception, planning, and control modules.
• Perception & Computer Vision: Improve sensor calibration, camera alignment, and 3D perception pipelines. Enhance object detection and segmentation performance for both simulation and real-world conditions.
• Motion Planning & Control: Develop and tune algorithms for coordinated base–arm motion, navigation, and trajectory planning in dynamic environments.

Position Details

• Duration: Minimum 1 year (8–16 h/week). Extension possible after 3 months.
• Type: Studentische Hilfskraft (HiWi) position.

Required Skills

• Strong programming skills in Python and C++
• Experience with ROS2 and Gazebo
• Basic understanding of computer vision, control theory, and motion planning
• Familiarity with deep learning frameworks (e.g., YOLO, segmentation models)
