Project Background
This project addresses technology translation challenges by developing a digital, interactive platform for early-stage prototyping of telemanipulated robotic systems. It enables researchers and clinicians to jointly explore and evaluate robot concepts using a virtual environment before physical components are manufactured. This approach reduces development costs, supports rapid iteration, and facilitates effective interdisciplinary exchange.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain a ROS2-based simulation environment for robotic designs in a medical context
- Integrate and evaluate various software packages and frameworks relevant to (medical) robotics
- Collaborate with researchers and engineers to model and simulate clinical use cases
- Support data collection, visualization, and analysis from simulation runs
- Document code, workflows, and results to ensure reproducibility and scalability of the research
Requirements
- You are pursuing a master's degree in robotics, computer science, or a closely related discipline
- Strong programming skills in Python and C++, preferably with experience in ROS2 (Robot Operating System 2)
- Experience with software integration, version control (Git), and Linux-based systems
- Prior experience with simulation environments (e.g., Gazebo, Ignition, SOFA, CoppeliaSim) would be highly advantageous
- Basic understanding of robotic kinematics, control, and sensor integration
- Interest in medical robotics applications or human–robot interaction is a plus
- Good communication skills and the ability to work independently as well as in a multidisciplinary team
We Offer
- A dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment at the intersection of robotics, medicine, and simulation technology
- Opportunities to work with cutting-edge robotic systems and state-of-the-art simulation frameworks
- Opportunity to align the position with a master thesis or semester project
