SUTD Robotics and Automation Research (ROAR) Laboratory

Description

Our Robotics and Automation Research (ROAR) Laboratory at SUTD is a leading research laboratory that specializes in reconfigurable robotics and have contributed to significant intellectual outcomes, novel robotic platforms, impactful applications, patents, and commercial products.

We have developed a new branch of robotics namely tiling robotics and a stream of associated research topics. In addition, ROAR lab is the only robotics lab globally that targets research into the design of robots, design for robot and design by robot fields. The lab is positioning itself as a catalyst in the transformation of multiple Singapore based companies into global robotic product manufacturers like Lionsbot and Oceania Robotics.

Responsibility

Your primary responsibilities include:

Designing and developing reconfigurable robotic platforms to achieve project goal (surveillance, maintenance or payload carrying robot)

Have a basic understanding of the electrical system of the robot so as to optimize the mechanical and electrical design
Have a broad understanding of different manufacturing processes and manufacturing constraints
Designing mounts for onboard sensors, to allow localisation accuracy
Simulating using CAD Solidworks for FEA analysis or Keyshot demonstration
Experience with mechanism components and use of basic shop tools is preferred
Able to effectively work in a multi-disciplinary team and with third-party vendors
Able to effectively communicate ideas and take constructive criticism

Requirements

Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
Experience designing and performing tests
Electromechanical system design experience is preferred
