Integration of Model Predictive Control with Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithm - Internship / Masterthesis

Kennziffer IPA-2020-257

The department of „Robotics and Assistance Systems“ develops innovative solutions for Safe Human-robot interaction such that robots can freely manipulate into the human environment. However, safe interaction is still a challenging problem specific to dynamic motion including human movement. Modern hardware interface such as sensors provide ensurity to have more safe-human robot collobration by interactacting with environment.


Was Sie mitbringen

• Good and basic knowledge of Sensor and Control theory
• Very good programming skills in C++ and Python
• Highly motivated to work on challenging tasks
• Creative and able to work independently
• Good knowledge of English writing and speaking
• Ideally a long-term interest in a student activity beyond the internship
• Experiences with Ubuntu and ROS or intention to acquire them

Was Sie erwarten können

Within this framework, student work would in the following subject areas is possible:

• Inteface of force-torque sensor to manipulation software
• Setup new robot manipulator into Care-O-bot4 with existing manipulation framework
• Test with existed manipulation scenario
• Presentation with the demonstration and result

The position offers the opportunity to work with advanced robots such as Care-O-bot and actively participate in various concrete projects to gain versatile practical experience. The participation in a project meeting and the direct exchange with project partners for the development of social competences is actively promoted.

Die Vergütung richtet sich nach den Richtlinien des Bundes über Praktikantenvergütungen.
