The thesis is offered in cooperation with the chair of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Real Time Systems, professorship for Cyber Physical Systems of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Althoff.

You'll be developing, implementing and verifying a robot controller for modular industrial robots. You will analyze several relevant control strategies and components for their effectiveness and evaluate their feasibility for future use. You will be a part of the engineering team and work on the forefront of robotics, with your own tasks and responsibilities. 

Parts of your work may include the following:

• Analysis of modular industrial robots
• Identification of core improvement possibilities for the robot controller
• Implementation of several control strategies, e.g. inclusion of torque estimation, friction observer, elastic joint control, feed-forward pre-control
• Comparison of different control strategies for different robot states
• Implementation of advanced sensor filtering techniques
