Aufgaben

In our Logistics Engineering Technologies & Advanced Logistics team, we work at ARENA2036 on the campus of the University of Stuttgart on pioneering robotics solutions for intralogistics. As part of an ongoing research project, we are developing a flexible bin-picking system together with partners from industry and research.

As an intern on our team, you will support the operation and further development of one of our mobile robotic demonstrators. Your tasks will include:

-
Operation, maintenance, and support of the demonstrator during test campaigns and demonstrations

-
Extension and maintenance of the state machine orchestrating the robot's behavior

-
Maintenance and improvement of the motion planning stack

-
Integration of additional hardware and software components into the overall system

-
Contributing to the ROS2, MQTT, and REST interfaces between the system's components


We offer you the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art robotics hardware and modern software stacks in a collegial team with flexible working hours and deep insights into an innovative research project.

The internship can begin in August 2026.
