The prototype covers all core functions; based on it, further robots can be replicated for under €1,000 in material costs. A team of four students is sought to fully design, build, commission, and document the robot.</p> <h2 id="work-packages">Work Packages</h2> <ul> <li>Design of the mechanical structure (multi-deck aluminum frame, component mounting with low center of gravity)</li> <li>Selection, procurement, and electrical integration of components (drive, power supply with DC-DC conversion, charging concept)</li> <li>Commissioning of the motor controller and omnidirectional drive (Mecanum wheels, modular driver boards)</li> <li>Integration and testing of sensors and output devices (360° LiDAR, display, speaker, optional depth camera)</li> <li>Implementation of user interfaces (Bluetooth controller, web interface, data recording to external storage)</li> <li>Documentation for reproduction and cost analysis for later series production</li> </ul> <h2 id="prerequisites">Prerequisites</h2> <ul> <li>Interest in mobile robotics and hands-on system integration</li> <li>Basic knowledge of electrical engineering (circuit design, power supply)</li> <li>Basic CAD knowledge</li> <li>Basic programming skills (Python or C++ helpful)</li> </ul> <h2 id="supervision">Supervision</h2> <table> <thead> <tr> <th style="text-align: left">Role</th> <th style="text-align: left">Name</th> <th style="text-align: left">E-Mail</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: left">Supervisor</td> <td style="text-align: left">Prof. Dr. Christian Pfitzner</td> <td style="text-align: left"><a href="mailto:christian.pfitzner@th-nuernberg.de">christian.pfitzner@th-nuernberg.de</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table>https://christianpfitzner.github.io/forschungsgruppe-mobile-robotik/en/publication/2026-drone-charging-setup/Mon, 08 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://christianpfitzner.github.io/forschungsgruppe-mobile-robotik/en/publication/2026-drone-charging-setup/<h2 id="work-packages">Work Packages</h2> <ul> <li>Familiarisation with the drone platform and available charging infrastructure</li> <li>Development of precise approach and landing planning for the charging pads</li> <li>Mechanical adaptation and fabrication of components (3D printing)</li> <li>Integration of the charging infrastructure into the automated workflow</li> <li>Test and evaluation of the charging setup in the flight space</li> </ul> <h2 id="requirements">Requirements</h2> <ul> <li>Programming skills in Python and/or C++</li> <li>Experience or interest in mechanical design, CAD or prototyping</li> <li>Enthusiasm for hands-on hardware work and building prototypes</li> </ul> <p>This topic can be completed as a <strong>project, bachelor&rsquo;s or master&rsquo;s thesis</strong> subject to agreement.</p> <h2 id="supervision">Supervision</h2> <table> <thead> <tr> <th style="text-align: left">Role</th> <th style="text-align: left">Name</th> <th style="text-align: left">E-Mail</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: left">Supervisor</td> <td style="text-align: left">Prof. Dr. Christian Pfitzner</td> <td style="text-align: left"><a href="mailto:christian.pfitzner@th-nuernberg.de">christian.pfitzner@th-nuernberg.de</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
