Internship - Automated Guided Vehicles – Implementation ROS in Limbach-Oberfrohna

For the Manufacturing Technologies division in Limbach-Oberfrohna (near Chemnitz) we are looking for a committed intern (m/f/diverse) for at least 3 months starting as of now. Low hardware costs and high computing power once again bring the topic of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) into focus. Although these have been in production for years, they are very expensive and require expensive orientation sensors. Based on a Raspberry PI and Arduino, a prototype is to be developed that is suitable as an autonomous transport system for production.

Job description:

• Introduction to the topic of AGVs for shop floor applications as well as the hard and software modules
  
• Support during software development and implementation using ROS (Robot Operation System)
  
• Integration of sensor and actuator modules
  
• Ensure a safe communication between the submodules
  
• Participation in the design of algorithm for sensor fusion, path planning, obstacle avoidance, parking

The Powertrain division focuses on efficient and clean vehicle drive systems. Here, the division works to improve the performance of injection systems, turbochargers, transmission control units, sensors, actuator systems and exhaust-gas aftertreatment. At the same time, it paves the way for the electrification of vehicles with efficient systems technology and economical vehicle integration
