About Flanders Make
Towards a digitally transformed, sustainable and competitive industry
Flanders Make is a fast-growing research centre that performs research to support companies from various sectors in their sustainable innovation processes. From our establishments in Lommel, Leuven, Kortrijk and Sint-Truiden and labs within the 5 Flemish universities, we stimulate open innovation through excellent research.
Because of our unique position as a bridge between industry and research, our teams combine application and system proficiency with technological and scientific knowledge. Academic partners and more than 150 companies are part of the innovative circular ecosystem of Flanders Make.
Our strategy based on industrial needs and long-term trends ensures a close link with the industry and its challenges. With our programmed research, we create impact in companies.
Sustainability, climate and workability have a high priority in our research. We want to help companies in developing sustainable, green, smart and connected products and production systems, with a special focus on people and their interaction with machines.
As an expert in robot programming or robot control, you:
- Work together in a research team combining expertise in software architectures, controls, sensing and layout of work cells;
- Work together with your team to address “assembly” challenges for real industry cases. The operator will be supported by cobots (KUKA LBR iiwa...), mobile robots (KUKA KMR iiwa...), two-armed robots (ABB Yumi…), logistic robots and AGVs (for transporting goods and pallets), etc.;
- Take the lead in developing the control system for these robots.
More concretely, you:
- Explore state-of-the-art collaborative robot applications and make proposals for their implementation in such a way that the industry benefits from them by improving current solutions in terms of flexibility, productivity and safety;
- Define and develop the online or real-time control strategy for robots and cobots (position control, force control, impedance control) and for component handling and gripping applications (suction cup, magnetic gripper, gripping hand…);
- Test and improve operational functionalities (sensors, software, control strategies…).
- A master’s or PhD degree in a relevant domain;
- Preferably 5 years of experience in research or industry;
- Reliable expertise in robot control;
- Experience in writing high-quality codes in C++ and Java and a good feel for Robot Programming;
- Affinity with simulations and modelling of robots (or production environments);
- A keen interest in machine assembly.
You are:
- Passionate about research and new technologies;
- Result-oriented, responsible, self-directing;
- Open-minded;
- Pro-active and taking initiative;
- Eager to learn.
