Time scope: at least 3 months

Start: As soon as possible

Application deadline: 2025-12-31

Reference number: IMMS_STUD_MECH_0523

The task is to plan and carry out systematic experiments on an existing nanopositioning system in order to characterise the positioning performance. After introduction to the handling and operation of the positioning system (dSpace, MATLAB® / Simulink®), the measurements are to be implemented and carried out using the existing control hardware and software, if necessary selectively supplemented by own Matlab scripts. The measurements are also evaluated in MATLAB®.
