Beschreibung

We are the TUM Start-Up EASE and we believe that everyone should be able to work in a healthy way. Even in physically demanding jobs that are often indispensable.
We want to actively support workers in these jobs and reduce strain-related fatigue and illness. For this purpose, we are developing an active, soft exoskeleton that supports lifting and carrying in manufacturing and logistics workplaces.
Adaptive yet sufficient support of the user requires a custom actuation concept that offers powerful and fast support while minimizing inertia, weight, and space.
We work together with an industrial partner to evaluate a new actuation concept which includes the integration of a frameless motor into the design.

Your tasks:

• Design and development of the actuation concept with support from the industrial partner

• Design and development of a simplified test rig based on the exoskeleton

• Testing and evaluating actuation concepts on the test rig (Motor control, data acquisition, processing, and evaluation)

You get:

• Free Makerspace access and necessary courses
• Insights in a new TUM Spin-Off and the TUM Start-Up Network

Would you like to know more about our system and already have knowledge in the mentioned areas?
We look forward to your application at EASE!

Voraussetzungen

• Systematic way of working and good team player

• Experience in mechanical design (Solidworks) and basic manufacturing

• Basic knowledge of electric motors

• Coding experience in C++, Python, or Matlab is helpful
