Autonomous robot development - Internship (2024-S-01)

As an intern, you will join a specifically defined project to evolve and develop our Philobot, which is based on an RC car model, equipped with a small single board computer (in this version a Raspberry Pi). The Raspberry Pi serves as a computing resource to control Philobot's stepper motors for steering and driving.

Philobot is connected via WiFi and Bluetooth to a server system with many more computational resources that can and should also be used for processing. In this setup, we can even implement and test scenarios where Car2X and Car2Car functionality can be realized with cloud services deployed on the server backbone (platooning, traffic routing, street conditions,...).

To allow testing of all developed functions in a controlled environment, we also offer a test environment in the form of a 1:32 scale miniature racing track (Race Track), which in addition to simulating the track will also...
