Thesis

News

We currently have a very high demand on thesis and have a large number already running. Therefore, for the rest of 2024 we can hardly offer any new thesis. Note that there are potential opportunities for thesis in robotics in collaboration with the IWF institute, find more here .

The IRP continuously offers thesis of all types.

Even if there is no current advertisement on this page, please simply drop an email to Prof. Steil (j.steil@tu-bs.de) in case you are interested in a thesis with us. Please state briefly: your Studiengang, your background and previous knowledge (you might attach a transcript to do so), your interest, a suggestion for a topic (if you have one), when you want to start, and special conditions (if such apply).

On external Master/Bachelor/PhD thesis

In principle, we welcome collaboration with industrial and other external partners and often conduct joint research or joint activities. However, we supervise external master or bachelor thesis that are conducted e.g. in companies only if they are mutually agreed upon within existing scientific collaborations with the IRP. A similar policy holds for PhD thesis. See also the recent position paper (in German only) of the leading TU9 engineering universities in Germany on external, industry-based PhD thesis.

Master

  • Due to a combination of high demand, but shortage of supervision capacity, we currently conduct master thesis only in the narrower area of robotics and with students that have experience and attended our lectures.
  • offer (external) master/bachelor thesis "cloud-based ML for robot learning" with Gauss Robotics GmbH, please contact D. Kubus (former IRP, daniel.kubus@gauss-robotics.de)

Bachelor

We have an offer for a bachelor thesis in the Institute of Robotics and Process Control (IRP) on concentric tube continuum robots starting next April.

Here is the detailed description of the offer:

Project title:
- Improving the prototype of a continuum robot and establishing data collection
Project description:
Continuum robots are attracting considerable attention due to their unique capabilities such as high
dexterity, flexibility and ability to navigate in confined spaces. In our institute, we are looking for a
student who will focus on improving the design and control of a concentric tube continuum robot.
He/She will also aim to create a new experimental bench to apply external forces to the tip of the outer
tubes and record data.
Key activities:
• Design and 3D print the different tubes.
• Control of the motors
• Create a suitable test bench to apply external forces to the tubes.
• Record the deformation data of the tubes.
Skills:
- Mechanical design, experience with 3D printing and Arduino control
- Enthusiasm for making experiences
- Willingness to learn and explore new things

If you are interested, please send your CV and motivation letter to aziza.ben-halima@tu-braunschweig.de by 12-02-2025.
