Location : Västerås, Sweden Functional area: R & D Division: Corporate Research

Internship, ROSIN

You will be part of The Mechanical Systems & Mechatronics Group at ABB Corporate Research in Västerås. In the role as a corporate research unit we ensure ABB’s technology competitiveness now and in future. We monitor, identify and develop the latest technologies in close collaboration with our business units, ABB’s customers and leading universities worldwide.

In the Mechanical Systems & Mechatronics Group we are currently 19 researchers with main focus on robotics and rotating machines with competencies within industrial robotics, machine design, machine elements, dynamics, and sensors & electronics.

We believe that the spatial as well as functional border between humans and robots in the production will be blurred out. We therefore work with collaborative robotics and as a result from this group was the creation and development of the YuMi robot concept. With us you will be part of developing tomorrow’s ultra-flexible industrial robotic systems with focus on ease-of-use and robustness in applications based on vision and other sensors, machine learning and effective human-machine interaction.

Task description

The topic would be mobile robotics. This can for example include software implementations for: navigation, perception, integrating different kind of sensors and GUI application/plugin. The exact task(s) can be decided together with the intern.

Requirements

MSc level students preferred. Programming skills in C / C ++ are required. Academic experience of robotics is a merit, as are experience with ROS, GUI applications and C #.

You will be working in an international environment. It is therefore necessary that you have good communication skills in English, both orally and in writing.
