HiWi Position: System Engineer for bi-Manual Mobile Manipulator in Geriatronics Tasks

10.04.2025, Studentische Hilfskräfte, Praktikantenstellen, Studienarbeiten

MIRMI seeks a motivated HiWi to work on a bi-manual mobile manipulator for Geriatronics. The role combines robotics, and software engineering tasks, including operating and maintaining the robot, preparing test environments (both physical and simulated), integrating software modules, conducting experiments, and documenting results. Prior experience with mobile manipulation, bi-manual manipulation, and SLAM is desirable.

We are seeking a highly motivated HiWi to work our Bi-Manual Mobile Manipulator at MIRMI. Starting from 04/2025, the project focuses on integrating technologies developed by team members from diverse research backgrounds and demonstrating the capabilities of the new bi-manual mobile manipulator in Geriatronics applications.

The selected candidate will play a critical role as a system engineer, robotic engineer, and software engineer in ensuring the successful operation, testing, and demonstration of the system.

Responsibilities
System Operations: Operate and maintain the self-developed bi-manual mobile manipulator.
Scene Setup: Prepare physical and simulation test environments, including setting up scenes for experiments and digital twin models.
Technology Integration: Deploy functionalities and software modules onto the robot.
Experimentation: Conduct experiments, collect and analyze results, and document findings.
Reporting: Compile experimental results and write reports for internal and external dissemination.

Qualifications
Academic Background: Pursuing or holding a degree in robotics, computer science, mechanical engineering, or a related field.

Technical Skills:
Familiarity with robotic simulation environments such as Isaac Sim/Lab, Genesis, or pyBullet.
Strong programming skills in Python, ROS, and C++.
Hands-on experience with robotic systems, particularly manipulation and control.

Desired Experience
Experience with integrating and deploying robotic software modules.
Prior work with bi-manual manipulation or mobile robotics.
Research background of mobile manipulation, SLAM, foundation models
