About the role

  • Internship focusing on programming robotic arms and using machine learning in simulations at Fraunhofer IIS. Opportunity to gain practical experience and contribute to innovative research.

Responsibilities

  • You want to gain experience in programming robot arms and deploying machine learning models in simulation and on real hardware
  • Manufacturing processes are the subject of numerous current research efforts in robotics
  • Digitizing real manufacturing tasks into simulation as digital twins
  • Automated generation of large datasets through augmentation
  • Training (Reinforcement/Imitation Learning) of large foundational models (Vision–Language–Action) using simulation and real-world data
  • Transferring resulting policies from simulation to real robot hardware (Sim2Real transfer)
  • Investigating discrepancies in system behavior between simulation and reality (Sim2Real gap) based on different system dynamics, sensor noise, contact modeling, and calibration errors
  • Adapting the simulation and implementing methods to increase the robustness of the Sim2Real transfer

Requirements

  • You are studying information systems engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or a comparable degree program
  • You are interested in robotics and ideally have experience with GPU simulators such as NVIDIA Isaac and motion-planning software like MoveIt or cuRobo
  • You are interested in physical applications of machine learning and ideally have basic knowledge of reinforcement/imitation learning and popular frameworks based on PyTorch or JAX
  • You enjoy working independently and have experience with Python as well as basic knowledge of software development and documentation

Benefits

  • Shape your schedule: Benefit from flexible working hours that fit perfectly with your studies.
  • Join a creative team: Experience an open and collegial work environment where your ideas are valued.
  • Diversity that inspires: Enjoy varied tasks that stimulate and challenge you.
  • Actively help shape the future: Contribute to application-oriented research and apply your theoretical knowledge in practice.
  • Exciting innovations: Work on cutting-edge projects that make a real impact.
