For our Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich we are looking for a

Improving Human-Robot-Interaction through Immersive Interfaces

What to expect:

Teleoperation of robotic systems, for example during space or search-and-rescue missions, is a highly demanding task for the operator. New possibilities of human-machine-interfaces like Mixed-Reality (MR) can help to reduce the mental workload of the user. To evaluate the benefits of a MR interface for the operator compared to standard graphical user interface (GUI), your task will be to develop a concept how to transfer the main features of an existing GUI for robotic teleoperation into a MR application. You will create a prototype based on your concept and evaluate it in a user study.

Your tasks:

What we expect from you:

What we offer:

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
