We are currently looking for a full-time research associate (m/f/d) in the field of AI-based robotics / AI-based robotic control to join our team immediately.
About us:
The Institute for Machine Tools and Industrial Management (iwb) at the Technical University of Munich is one of the leading production technology institutes in Germany. We are doing research in the field of production management and logistics, machine tools, assembly technology and robotics, sustainable production, battery production, as well as laser technology. Within these fields, the research associates (m/f/d) are engagee in research, teaching, and industrial transfer with the goal of obtaining a doctoral degree.
For our Assembly Technology and Robotics department, we are looking for a research associate for the development of flexible robot applications. As part of the research project, AI models based on synthetic data will be trained to process sensor data in order to equip robotic systems with perceptive capabilities and automate complex manufacturing tasks. The developed solution will be tested by setting up a prototype robot cell at our institute.
