About the role
You don’t just want to learn robotics in lectures – you want to see it working on real robots in real greenhouses? In our newly established AgTech team, you will work on mobile robots operating in high-end greenhouses and help us rethink agriculture through intelligent automation. This internship gives you the opportunity to join a strategic initiative at ZEISS that aims to revolutionize labor automation in agriculture using cutting-edge robotic systems.
Your Role
•
Implement and evaluate state-of-the-art motion planning and control approaches for highly unstructured environments
•
Develop, refactor and maintain motion generation pipelines building blocks in a large robotics codebase
•
Test approaches on real hardware in greenhouses
