R&D Internship : Robotics (Bionics, Bi-pedals), Mechanics & Fabrication (Control Systems, 3D Design

Role : Internship (3-6 months) - Full Time, Onsite (Bangalore)

Key Responsibilities (Research & Development) :

1. Robotics R&D & Prototyping

Assist in the design and development of robotic systems (bipedal robots, manipulators, ornithopters, bionics).

Build, integrate, and test robotic prototypes using mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems.

2. Mechanical Design & Fabrication

Design high-precision mechanical components in CAD (Autodesk Fusion 360).

Fabricate parts using rapid prototyping tools : 3D printing (FDM / SLA) CNC machining (3-axis or 5-axis) Sheet metal forming Carbon fiber composite fabrication

Assemble mechanical joints, gear trains, linkages, and motion mechanisms.

3. Control Systems and Simulation

Implement and tune PID and model-based controllers for robotic actuation.

Work with simulators such as Gazebo, Webots, Isaac Sim, or custom simulation environments.

Perform kinematic, dynamic, and structural analysis to validate designs.

4. ROS Development

Implement ROS1 / ROS2 nodes, topics, services, and actions.

Integrate sensors (IMUs, encoders, force sensors, cameras) and actuators (servos, BLDCs, ESCs, linear actuators).

Develop URDF / SRDF models and integrate them into simulation.

5. Electronics & Embedded Integration

Assist in wiring, testing, and integrating microcontrollers, power systems, drivers, and sensors.

Basic PCB prototyping is a plus.

Bonus Skills (Nice to Have)

Embedded Hardware circuit design and Software programming (Arduino, STM32, ESP32, IOT Sensors)

Familiarity with Python and C++ for Robotics

Understanding of Biomimetics or bio-inspired mechanism

Key Responsibilities (EdTech / Robotics Communicator) :

Robotics Education (dedicate a small portion of time and effort mentoring some of the brightest young minds - GiftdMinds students, educating about Robotics, Mechatronics and Control Systems)

Outreach and Partner Connect : Part of the Outreach team to connect with various private and Govt. UAVs and Defence related organisations in the field of Robotics

Responsible for establishing GiftdMinds as an active and leading R&D organisation in the field of advanced Robotics
