Do you want to practice and learn new skills within a vibrant environment? Do you have a curious mind and a proactive attitude? Are you brave enough to bring new ideas that make an impact? Then we are looking for you.

At ROICO we are developing a collaborative painting tool using robotic technology. We empower painters with a solution that works alongside them, allowing them to focus on high-value and value-creating tasks. This tool will help painters increase their productivity, reduce physically straining tasks, and address the labor shortage among painting companies.

We are looking for a Master Thesis/Intern to assist bringing our collaborative mobile painting robot to life

What will you do?

Work with RGBD sensors, i.e for obstacle avoidance, localization
Work with data from LiDARS
Work with (V)SLAM
Develop Digital Twin, Simulation, for our robot

What we offer

Work remotely, but sometimes work with the robot might be necessary
Freedom to choose between working on SLAM, Digital Twin part or something else that can accelerate the performance of our robot
Flexible working hours
A real-life mobile robot to work with and test different components
An opportunity to work in an early-stage startup where you can make an impact
We are open to your ideas

At ROICO Solutions we are developing a collaborative painting robot working alongside painters boosting productivity, reducing physical strain, and addressing labour shortage on the construction site. We focus on ease-of-use with a plug-and-play design for increased mobility and flexibility. We experienced ourselves how challenging and physically demanding it was to paint. This made us curious to figure out what construction painters are faced with. - Painters have the lowest margins in construction - 86% of painting companies experience an increasing skilled labour shortage - 33% of all EU painters will retire within a decade, while labour shortage increases We aim to solve these issues with a collaborative, semiautonomous robotic painting solution for construction painters. Our solution: - Paints walls and ceilings up to 3.5 meters high using an extendable pillar; - Navigates autonomously along walls through a mobile base; - Object detection to recognize areas that should not be painted (e.g. windows or sockets); - Uses sensors to detect any obstacles or people to avoid collisions; - Mobile application allows manual control or semi-autonomous mode - Software and sensors gather data (e.g. wall type, objects on the wall and ceiling, paint consumption, activity timer, and data associated with navigation and mapping)
