Key facts

analysis of existing actuation solutions and their geometric and functional adaptation for a new finger design
development of a CAD model for a robotic finger combining rigid and flexible elements
development of methods for integrating proprioceptive sensors directly into the finger structure
construction of functional prototypes using additive manufacturing processes to validate the design
planning and conducting test series to measure precision, robustness and sensor feedback

very good CAD skills in Creo or comparable design software
A sound understanding of engineering mechanics for the design of moving components
Proficiency in using MATLAB or Simulink to analyse sensor data and system behaviour
Practical knowledge of modern manufacturing technology and the mechanical integration of electronics
Experience of working with mechatronic test benches and their commissioning

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people.
We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally.
To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities.
Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular.
Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
