Initial Situation:

The handling and processing of cables and wires is currently characterized by manual activities due to their flexible material behavior. However, due to the ever-increasing complexity of cable systems in vehicle construction, there is also an acute need for action in industry to automate the process. As part of an automation project with a major German OEM, an automation solution is to be developed for cable harness production and assembly in the vehicle.

Possible thesis:

The objective of this thesis is to optimize existing computer vision algorithms for the robotic insertion of a wiring harness into the center console of a contemporary premium vehicle. The scope is roughly divided as follows and can be tailored according to your interests:

• Designing a comparative framework for benchmarking  event-based vision algorithms against traditional frame-based methods 
• Investigate potential of a multimodal fusion approach integrating event- and frame-based vision with force / acoustic sensing for enhanced process feedback 
• Implementing & testing the system in a simulated or experimental setup involving robotic insertion and inspection tasks 
• Analyzing performance metrics such as latency, accuracy, and robustness under varying conditions 
• Discussion and outlook on further development possibilities

Focus on:

• 3D Computer Vision
• Pose estimation
• Robotics

What you should bring:

• Independent and structured work style
• Good documentation of the approach
• Good knowledge of German or English language
• Python knowledge desirable
• Computer Vision knowledge advantageous

Other notes:

• Start date can be immediate
• Remote work possible
• Work scope can be individually tailored according to interests
• Please apply with a current grade transcript and resume
