Stuttgart, Deutschland Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems Vollzeit

Have you noticed that computers can show beautiful images and play clear sounds, but they don't let you physically touch digital items? What if you could feel the texture of clothing or the brush strokes of a famous art piece on your smartphone? Led by Katherine J. Kuchenbecker, the MPI-IS Haptic Intelligence department is working to invent new technologies for generating realistic haptic sensations on touchscreens. We are interested in investigating human touch sensation, understanding the electro-mechanical properties of the fingertip, and designing new haptic interfaces based on this knowledge.
**We are looking for a**:
Student Research Assistant (M/F/div) for artificial muscle fabrication and characterization
Roles & Responsibilities
**Possible tasks include**:

- Fabrication of film based soft actuators.
- Characterization of the actuators in experiments
- Performing simulations of bio-mimetic artificial muscle systems
- Processing of experimental and simulation data

Education & Experience
We are looking for talented students who are pursuing a Master of Science in engineering cybernetics (Kybernetik), biomedical engineering (Medizintechnik), mechanical engineering (Maschinenbau), mechatronics (Mechatronik), material science (Materialwissenschaften), electrical engineering (Elektrotechnik), physics (Physik) or related fields to support our research as student assistants (HiWis) and to shape the future of robotics with us.
Applicants should
- have high motivation.
- be pursuing a master’s degree.
- be currently enrolled in a German university.
- want to work in an international and interdisciplinary research group.
- have good oral and written communication skills in English.
- be able to work on site at the Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany.

We are especially interested in applicants who have experience in
- engineering drawing (2D CAD) and designing experiments
- rapid prototyping techniques (3D CAD, CNC, laser cutting, 3D printing).
- experimental data acquisition and processing (Matlab)
- performing simulation ins Matlab/Simulink

**Our offer**:
Master students holding a Bachelor’s degree will be paid 13,65€ per hour, maximum 20 hours per week. The job will start as soon as possible. An initial contract will be offered for three months with the possibility to be extended for a longer period of time.
