HiWi position: Investigate low-cost robotic arm & potential integration on mobile platform / SPOT.

We are currently looking for a robotic software engineer that can support us to 1) investigate an already provided interface to a recently ordered low-cost robotic arm (https://www.trossenrobotics.com/widowx-250-robot-arm.aspx) and to 2) (later) create some mechanical interface that allows mounting it on a mobile platform and later even on a Boston dynamics SPOT.

Scheduled tasks

  1. Setting up the already provided interface to the arm
  2. Evaluating the tracking performance of the arm & the possibilities for control
  3. Transfer the arm onto a mobile platform / SPOT

Requirements

  1. Knowledge and prior experience with Python (and/or) C++ (ideally ROS)
  2. Basic knowledge in robot control, i.e., forward/inverse kinematics, etc.
  3. Background in 3D printing / mechanical design is a plus

Application
If you are interested, please send a short letter of motivation and your CV to mailto:niklas.funk@tu-darmstadt.de

Organisation

  • Start: flexible - but ASAP is preferred (posted on 4th of August)
  • Duration: at least 3 months

HiWi position: Website and documentation for the MushroomRL library

The MushroomRL library is a Python library for implementing and running RL experiments. The user base of MushroomRL is constantly growing, as more and more functionalities are added to the library. The recent publication of a JMLR article about MushroomRL is giving high visibility to the library, and motivates its developers Carlo D'Eramo and Davide Tateo to keep improving it. For this HiWi position, we are looking for highly-skilled programmers to create a website dedicated to description and documentation. The website should provide an extensive description of the library, with use cases, examples, and videos. The documentation should be complete and easy to read. Moreover, the graphics of the website has to be modern and captivating. The HiWi student will also have the opportunity to work on the benchmarking of Reinforcement Learning algorithms, if desired.

Scheduled tasks

  • Create a website for MushroomRL;
  • Improve the technical documentation of MushroomRL;
  • Optional: run benchmarking of Reinforcement Algorithms with MushroomRL.

Requirements

  • Basic knowledge of Reinforcement Learning;
  • Experience with tools for automatically building documentation, e.g., Read the Docs;
  • Excellent knowledge of web programming languages, e.g. HTML , CSS.

Application
If you are interested, please send an email with your CV to mailto:carlo@robot-learning.de and mailto:davide@robot-learning.de.

Organisation

  • Start: ASAP.
  • Duration: At least 6 months.
