Background:

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 an existing computer vision algorithm for the robotic insertion of a wiring harness into the center console of a contemporary premium vehicle. The algorithm aims to automatically identify the various insertion points within the center console and generate parameters for a correction algorithm to facilitate subsequent robotic insertion. The thesis is roughly divided as follows:

• Brief literature research  in the field of optical 3D measurement methods and already existing approaches for wire harness assembly
• Analysis of the provided 3D Vision algorithms
• Improvement of algorithms to generate the parameters for position correction for subsequent automatic mating
• Comparison of various pose estimation approaches using Halcon library
• 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
