Internship in Motion Generation for Agricultural Robotics

Turning today’s research into tomorrow’s applications – together. At ZEISS, we focus on user-centric innovation to transform ideas into cutting-edge solutions. At the ZEISS Innovation Hub@KIT, we foster collaboration between students, researchers, entrepreneurs, and ZEISS employees to drive technological advancements.  You don’t just want to learn robotics in lectures – you want to see it working on real robots in real greenhouses? In our newly established AgTech team, you will work on mobile robots operating in high-end greenhouses and help us rethink agriculture through intelligent automation. This internship gives you the opportunity to join a strategic initiative at ZEISS that aims to revolutionize labor automation in agriculture using cutting-edge robotic systems. **Your Role** ============= * Implement and evaluate state-of-the-art motion planning and control approaches for highly unstructured environments * Develop, refactor and maintain motion generation pipelines building blocks in a large robotics codebase * Test approaches on real hardware in greenhouses **Your Profile** ================ * Pursuing a Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Data Science or related field * Good foundation in robotics, kinematics, dynamics, motion planning, control theory, optimization, or machine learning * Good coding skills with C++ and Python * Hands-on experience with tools like ROS 2, Pinocchio, Drake, MoveIt, Tesseract, ros2\_control or LeRobot is a plus * High motivation and openness to learn new skills * Ability to work well in an interdisciplinary, international team * Excellent command of English; German skills are an asset but not required Sounds exciting? Then become part of #teamZEISS and help us shape the future! Please provide your complete application documents (CV, transcript of records). Your ZEISS Recruiting Team: Selina Safradin
