Internship Digital Twin and Task Simulation for a Humanoid Robot

At Bosch, we shape the future by inventing high-quality technologies and services that spark enthusiasm and enrich people’s lives. Our promise to our associates is rock-solid: we grow together, we enjoy our work, and we inspire each other. Join in and feel the difference.

The Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application!

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

During your internship, your work will involve importing the robot's 3D model into a simulator, such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim or Gazebo, and configuring its physics and sensors.; You will be responsible for building a virtual world for the robot to interact with.; In addition, you will 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.; Last but not least, you will validate this using a benchmark manipulation task.

Requirements

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
