Research Assistant in the Development of a Mobile Inspection System

Topic I – Investigating drive variants and developing and testing the basic mechanical design: researching the state of the art; analysing requirements regarding payload, travel speeds, controllability and machine safety; analysing different drive and steering principles and selecting a preferred variant; mechanically designing and assembling the drive demonstrator; commissioning and testing it; documenting the results. Topic II – Position measurement and direction-of-travel control of the mobile inspection system: researching position detection and control of mobile systems; analysing measurement and control system requirements; developing control hardware and software based on commercially available components; commissioning and testing the system. Topic III – Automated inspection of selected defect types based on 2D camera data and 3D sensors: researching defect types and inspection methods; analysing requirements and selecting sensors; developing a measurement setup that can be integrated into the inspection system; commissioning and testing the system.
