6 months

System Integrator Robotics and Web Developer

SENPRO Sensortechnik GmbH

Development of a collaborative robot cell for automated handling and silicone dispensing of sensor components.
Responsible for mechanical design, electronics, software integration, and final CE certification.
A custom-built tool change system enables automated switching between handling and dispensing tools.
For process monitoring, a Django-based control console for industrial robots was developed, combining a real-time dashboard (WebSocket, Chart.js) and a RESTful API (DRF).
It allows asynchronous program execution, visualization of live data and camera streams, robot control, as well as statistical analysis and documentation of process data with an interactive Bootstrap interface.
Technologies used: Universal Robots (URScript), Arduino, OpenCV, Python, Django/Django REST Framework (DRF), Channels, SQLite, Chart.js, Bootstrap, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, AutoCAD, Autodesk Fusion 360, construction & manufacturing with aluminum profiles, laser-cut parts, specialty sheet metal, RoboDK simulation
