About this role
At the Fraunhofer Institute for Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation IOSB, we turn the latest scientific findings into technical innovations – thus contributing to shaping the future.
Through your thesis, you will support our team in the field of Human-AI Interaction and work on applied research projects carried out in cooperation with industry or research partners. This will allow you to put your theoretical knowledge directly into practice. In our research group, we develop complex experimental setups and demonstrators to test humanoid robots in human-centered environments.
Sounds exciting? Then apply now! We are looking for reinforcement for our team starting in October 2026 for a period of six months. Just a ten-minute walk from the Campus South of KIT, your opportunity awaits to become part of our renowned research institution.
