Bachelor / Master Thesis / Internship (m/f/d) Predictive Data Analytics for Industrial Robots

Job description

Looking for a taste of working life in an international, future-focused corporate group? Then complete an internship with us, or come to us to write your thesis. Both options are open for 6 months, depending on your course of study and subject to approval. ABB will provide you with wide-ranging, professional and expert support to help you complete your thesis. Expand your network now, and learn about our company as you undertake a practically focused thesis or internship.

Tasks:

Industrial robots are used in various applications in industrial automation, such as in production lines of car manufacturers for the welding or painting of cars bodies. These robots collect a vast amount of production data every day, such as robot sensor data and event logs, which are stored in historic logging databases of the robot systems. The analysis of this data with help of (big) data analytics and machine learning, provides great opportunity for learning and predicting robot behaviour. Use cases include, for example, trying to predict robot health conditions for predictive maintenance, or the learning of robot skills.

In your thesis or internship you will support our research team in the development of analytics models, or innovative visualization concepts, for the analysis of industrial robots, using real-word data from robot production environments such as the automotive industries.

Requirements:

• You are a fully matriculated student in computer science, or related fields
• You have initial experience in data mining and data visualization tools e.g. Python, Node.js, JavaScript
• Fluent command of German or English, both written and spoken
• Your internship can be set up as voluntary or mandatory internship for your studies.

Additional information

We believe in fairness, so interns who join us will benefit from our expertise as they expand their own knowledge. We give you the scope to try things out for yourself and obtain practical experience. Your time is valuable, so you will receive appropriate remuneration for the duration of the internship.
Please note that internships are generally limited to six months, while voluntary internships during a bachelor course are for a maximum of three months.
Please state whether you are applying for a voluntary internship or undertaking a mandatory internship, and be sure to enclose your certificate of enrolment. In the case of mandatory internships, please include the corresponding extract from your university's internship guidelines.
