Job Description

Movu Robotics

Innovation, ambitious growth, technology, state-of-the-art robots – that’s Movu Robotics in a nutshell. Due to the in-house design and manufacturing process of our systems, an exciting, hands-on work environment with plenty of challenges and advancement opportunities is guaranteed. Will you help shape the future of intralogistics?

Problem

Our current atlas product detects drive slip using an array of sensors these need to be set up and calibrated well. The system cost is relatively high and has no alternative applications.

Main issues

- High system cost

- Medium system robustness

- Ad hoc developed concept offers room for improvement

Solution idea

An elegant solution could be to use 1 (or more) low cost IMU sensors detecting the shuttle acceleration in different directions, therefore detecting if a certain acceleration is not met or if a certain speed is not maintained. Alternatively, these IMU's may be used for alternative features measuring shocks and vibrations of the shuttle and its subcomponents. The object is to develop a working "proof of concept" communicating connected to our Movu On board Controller.

Qualifications

Who are we looking for?

A motivated thesis student with a hands-on mindset, strong problem-solving skills and an interest in industrial automation, robotics and product development.
