(M/W) Exoskeleton Control internship

Wandercraft is hiring!

About

Basée à Paris et New York, Wandercraft se lance un défi de taille : celui de redonner aux personnes à mobilité réduite la capacité de se lever et de marcher sans béquilles. Atalante, premier exosquelette de marche stable au monde, permet cet exploit, en centre de rééducation et en milieu hospitalier. Œuvrant avec passion et convaincue des bienfaits de la robotique sur la santé, l'entreprise développe maintenant un exosquelette personnel visant à restaurer l’autonomie au quotidien de ses usagers.

Job Description

Within a young and dynamic start-up located in the center of Paris, you will participate in the development of the exoskeleton control. This work will include aspects of modeling, optimized trajectory generation and/or controller synthesis.

You will be integrated in the control and command team composed of PhD students and engineers under the supervision of one of the engineers of the team. You may collaborate with the mechanical and electronic teams to implement recent techniques of dynamic robotics.

Your main activities will be for example:

Trajectory planning for the exoskeleton
Control architecture validation in simulation environment
Testing control architecture experimentally with the exoskeleton, and adapting it to problems encountered
Participating in the team's tests on the exoskeleton

Preferred Experience

You are innovative. You enjoy working on a complex and challenging product. You like trying new things, and coming up with solutions to overcome problems encountered.

You are rigorous. You can carry out kinematics and dynamics calculations. You are able to think calmly about the assumptions, benchmarks, conventions and units used. You can clearly explain your approach to your peers and report your results.

You are adaptable. You are able to keep up with frequent software changes made to the prototype, as well as sometimes rapid changes in priorities.

You like to work in a small team (10 people) within a multidisciplinary intermediate structure (100 people), in a young company in full growth.
