Internship - Programming & Automation
1000 euro per maandFull-timeFull-time (5 days/week)In English
About the job
This internship in Delft focuses on building the control and data-capture layer for a robotic cell with cameras and a linear rail. You will work on the full loop, from motion planning to calibration feedback, and make the system robust for real-world use.
What you will do
- Build the robot control layer: drive the arm through its SDK, coordinate the linear rail, and plan safe motion inside a cell that also has a target, cables, and an operator in it
- Design pose generation that’s actually informed by the calibration problem, including getting proper coverage across a multi-camera rig rather than just one lens at a time
- Get the timing and synchronisation right between the robot, the cameras, and the captured data
- Gate data quality at capture time, and retry within the run rather than finding out later that a dataset is unusable
- Close the loop with the existing calibration pipeline: feed it data, read back its results, and use that to decide what to capture next and when a run is done
- Package captures with the metadata needed to make a calibration reproducible, and make the whole thing robust to failures mid-run
What you bring
- Enrolled in a relevant study program (Robotics, Computer Science, CSE, Mechatronics, Aerospace, Electrical Engineering, or similar)
- Strong programming skills, Python at minimum
- Comfortable working in Linux
- Strong interest in robotics, automation, computer vision, or perception
- English proficiency
- Organized and proactive working style
Nice to have
- ROS 2, MoveIt 2, tf2, and motion planning in practice
- Experience with industrial or collaborative arm SDKs (UFactory / xArm, UR, Franka), or motion control more generally
- Hands-on camera calibration experience: OpenCV, Kalibr, ChArUco or AprilTag targets, hand-eye calibration
- Multi-camera rigs, and the specific pain of calibrating cameras with little or no overlapping field of view
- Machine vision cameras: triggering and synchronisation, GenICam, exposure control, rolling versus global shutter
- Coverage or observability reasoning, simulation environments, Docker, CI, tests, research-to-operator
What you get
- 1000 euro monthly compensation
- 10 vacation days
- Flexible working hours
- Option to work from home 2 days per week where practical
- Direct influence on innovative products
- Full ownership of a self-contained system
