JOB.TITLE

Your future mission

As an intern at Melexis, you will design a novel force sensor based on a Hall effect sensor and a magnet in combination with discrete mechanical springs. This can be a Master's thesis or an internship.

More specifically, you will:

• Study state of the art in tactile force sensor in robotics and mm-scale springs.

• Design, manufacture and optimize a system which a magnet suspended on springs.

• Characterize the system and compare it to state of the art performances.

• Integrate the sensor in a robotic equipment.

Expected results

• Comparative study of the sensor against state-of-the-art technologies
• Working prototype of the sensor
• Live demonstration in a robot

Requirements

• Familiarity with integrated sensor and mechanical systems

• Data analysis and programming skills (ideally in Python)

• Being handy and creative is a plus
