Abschlussarbeit: Werkzeugbahnplanung für selektiven Materialabtrag mit Robotersystemen

We are researching at the Fraunhofer IEM in Paderborn and are looking for a motivated person for a final thesis who develops concepts and algorithms for tool path planning for selective material removal with robot systems and prototypically implements them.

Requirements

• Analysis of the state of the art in robot-based material removal and tool path planning
• Concept of a method for describing and transmitting selectively to be processed areas (e.g. from CAD-/3D-data or quality information)
• Development of strategies for path planning (e.g. contour- or surface-based) taking into account process parameters, tool orientation, accessibility and collision avoidance
• Implementation of a prototypical software component for generating tool paths for robot systems
• Verification of the approach in a suitable simulation environment and – if possible – exemplary testing on a real robot system
• Evaluation of the solution with regard to coverage of the target areas, processing quality and transferability to various application cases

Benefits

• Exciting insights into current research projects with high societal relevance in the field of sustainability
• Opportunity to learn how scientific findings are implemented in practice
• Interdisciplinary and engaged team with design freedom
• Flexible working hours to agree with studies
• Valuable practical experience
• Opportunity to bring in own ideas and actively participate in the interface between research and industry
