Thesis IMU Slip Detection

Job description

Problem Our current atlas product detects drive slip using an array of sensors these need to be set up and calibrated well. The system cost is relatively high and has no alternative applications. Main issues - High system cost - Medium system robustness - Ad hoc developed concept offers room for improvement Solution idea An elegant solution could be to use 1 (or more) low cost IMU sensors detecting the shuttle acceleration in different directions, therefore detecting if a certain acceleration is not met or if a certain speed is not maintained. Alternatively, these IMU's may be used for alternative features measuring shocks and vibrations of the shuttle and its subcomponents. The object is to develop a working "proof of concept" communicating connected to our Movu On board Controller. Who are we looking for? A motivated thesis student with a hands-on mindset, strong problem-solving skills and an interest in industrial automation, robotics and product development. Relevant skills Programming ++ Electronic engineering ++ Product development + What we offer you?
