Digital twins — high-fidelity virtual replicas of physical systems — are essential for accelerating modern robotics research, allowing for rapid and safe testing of complex algorithms. The goal of this project is to build a realistic simulation environment for our humanoid robot, creating a "digital twin" for advanced development.

Responsibilities

• Import the robot's 3D model into a simulator, such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim or Gazebo, and configure its physics and sensors.
• Build a virtual world for the robot to interact with.
• Implement a Robot Operating System (ROS) bridge to enable the simulated robot to be controlled using the same software that runs on the physical hardware.
• Validate this using a benchmark manipulation task.

Qualifications

• Education: Master studies in the field of Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics or comparable with good academic standing
• Experience and Knowledge:
  • good programming skills in Python and Torch
  • comfort working in a Linux environment
  • familiarity with C++ or the Robot Operating System (ROS) is highly desirable
  • prior experience with 3D modelling, game engines (e.g., Unity, Unreal) or robotics simulation advantageous
• Personality and Working Practice: you are a motivated and independent individual with a hands‑on mentality and a passion for robotics and simulation
• Work Routine: this role requires a significant on-site presence for hands-on work with robotics hardware, however, partially mobile working is possible when tasks permit
• Languages: very good in English

Start: according to prior agreement

Duration: 3 - 6 months
