Internship Digital Twin and Task Simulation for a Humanoid Robot

Job Description:

Job Description

Digital twins - high-fidelity virtual replicas of physical systems - are essential for accelerating modern robotics research, allowing for rapid and safe testing of complex algorithms. The goal of this project is to build a realistic simulation environment for our humanoid robot, creating a "digital twin" for advanced development.
* During your internship, your work will involve importing the robot's 3D model into a simulator, such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim or Gazebo, and configuring its physics and sensors.
* You will be responsible for building a virtual world for the robot to interact with.
* In addition, you will implement a Robot Operating System (ROS) bridge to enable the simulated robot to be controlled using the same software that runs on the physical hardware.
* Last but not least, you will validate this using a benchmark manipulation task

Candidate Requirements:

Qualifications

* Education: Master studies in the field of Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics or comparable with good academic standing
* Experience and Knowledge:
* good programming skills in Python and Torch
* comfort working in a Linux environment
* familiarity with C++ or the Robot Operating System (ROS) is highly desirable
* prior experience with 3D modelling, game engines (e.g., Unity, Unreal) or robotics simulation advantageous
* Personality and Working Practice: you are a motivated and independent individual with a hands-on mentality and a passion for robotics and simulation
* Work Routine: this role requires a significant on-site presence for hands-on work with robotics hardware, however, partially mobile working is possible when tasks permit
* Languages: very good in English
