Job Summary

In this role, you develop real-time algorithms for active heave compensation and 6-DoF ship motion compensation for robotic arms, integrating sensors and optimizing complex software in C++ and Python.

Job Technologies

Your role in the team

Development, implementation, and optimization of real-time algorithms for active heave compensation (Active Heave Compensation, AHC) as well as 6-DoF ship motion compensation to ensure the absolute stability of the end effector even in rough sea conditions.
Integration of data from Motion Reference Units (MRUs), IMUs, and computer vision systems using advanced filtering techniques (e.g., Kalman filters) to predict and compensate for the dynamic movements of the carrier platform.
Development and optimization of forward and inverse kinematics, trajectory planning, and collision-free motion planning for 6-DoF and 7-DoF robotic arms in confined and dynamic operational environments.
Development of robust, production-ready, and highly deterministic software in C++ and Python for EvoLogics' simulation environment.
Development and enhancement of simulation environments that realistically model wave physics, ship hydrodynamics, and sensor signals to validate system behavior prior to sea trials.
Close collaboration with naval architects, designers, and AI engineers to define robust hardware requirements and system architecture.
