Job description

Remuneration: Remuneration is in accordance with the Collective Agreement for the Public Sector - Federal Government (TVöD-Bund).

Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V.; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our12,000employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge?Then this is your place!

The Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics develops robots that enable people to interact with the environment more efficiently, effectively and safely. The robots are designed to work in environments that are inaccessible or dangerous for humans, but also to support and relieve people at work and in everyday life.

What to expect

The Autonomy and Remote Programming department develops control systems for complex movements on multi-armed robots with many degrees of freedom. The tasks range from simple motion sequences to autonomous planning of complex manipulation tasks. Research is also being conducted into the control of robots on flexible, high-performance computing platforms under realtime conditions.

• Analyse state-of-the-art motion planning methodsfocussing on applicability and limitations for reactivemobile manipulation
• Integrate parallelized motion planning methods formobile manipulators into existing in-house software
• Design experiments to evaluate the integratedmethods, both in simulation and for real systems
• Conduct experiments on mobile manipulators toverify reactive behavior of the integrated motionplanning methods

Your profil
