Student Jobs

We always have HiWi positions for students of the TU Darmstadt. Here are current opportunities:

  1. PROMI Hiwi: We always need students in Winter Semester for helping with the lecture Probabilitische Methoden der Informatik. Contact: promi-team@ias.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de.
  2. RoL Hiwi: We always need students in Summer Semester for helping with the lecture Robot Learning 1 and 2. Contact information on the linked page.
  3. Agentic Robot Programming HiWi:
    Advisors: Claudius Kienle, Ken Simmoteit
    We have built a system for agentic, LLM-based robot programming: a user describes a manipulation task in natural language, and an LLM agent builds the corresponding robot program in simulation.
    Your task is to bring this system to more embodiments + simulators (e.g. Isaac Lab / MuJoCo / PyBullet) and demonstrate it on standard manipulation tasks such as those in FurnitureBench or comparable benchmarks. The goal is to test it also on the real robot. You will work across the full stack, from simulator integration and robot control through to the LLM agent.
    Minimum Requirements: strong experience with Python, LLM APIs, agent frameworks (LangGraph); basic robotics background; can work with us for six months or more
    Bonus Requirements: experience with real robots (sim or real) and/or robotics benchmarks (FurnitureBench, MetaWorld, ...); experience with robot simulators (Isaac Sim/Lab, MuJoCo, PyBullet, or similar);
    If you're excited about the intersection of LLMs, robot manipulation and simulation, this is a strong opportunity to work end-to-end on a real research system. Please send an email to [claudius.kienle@tu-darmstadt.de,ken-joel.simmoteit@tu-darmstadt.de] with a short motivation, your CV, and grades.

If you are interested in one of the opportunities, please contact only the person indicated in the job description.
