The gradient amplifier generates the current through the gradient coils and therefore consists of 3 amplifier modules that share a common power supply. In order to have fast and large enough variation in the field, high voltage and high current is required (e.g. 2100V, 1150A for NG2200). Accuracy, reliability and lifetime are very important for gradient amplifiers.

Assignment

Gradient amplifiers have some limits in handling gradient sequences. You will design an application (Qt/C++) to advise the user of the limits of the gradient amplifier. The software will analyze the gradient sequence (i.e. current setpoint over time) and some other input parameters (e.g. load inductance/resistance, coolant temperature, etc.), which are provided by the user. The model to analyze the data will be provided by Prodrive Technologies. Based on the output, the application will generate useful graphs/statistics to the user about the capabilities and performance of the gradient amplifier at every point in time during the entire sequence. Major challenges will be to keep the performance of the application high enough to process vast amounts of data and to keep the I.P. from Prodrive Technologies (i.e. analysis model) protected. The application will be added to the “NG Tool Suite” and can be used by customers to analyze their gradient sequences. Prodrive Technologies provides test facilities for this project and the gradient amplifier development team is available for support and reviews.

Deliverables

• Design of the application and GUI.
• Implementation of the application.
• Tests to verify the implementation.

Our company was founded in 1993 by technical professionals from the Eindhoven University of Technology. Since then every year Prodrive Technologies has shown a steep growth rate due to a very successful business concept in a young and dynamic organization (average age 28 years). Currently the total Prodrive Technologies organization consists of over 1.100 (900 FTE) employees which are highly skilled, highly motivated and focused on results.

Category: Internship

Education level: BSc/ MSc Computer Science or related study

Context

Prodrive Technologies is a developer and manufacturer of world-class electronics. It comprises over 1100 employees and is one of the fastest growing companies in Europe. Our organization is mostly based on two groups: Development and Operations. The Development department is oriented at developing first-class electronic, mechanic and software solutions. The operations department is responsible for production, assembly, testing and life-cycle-management of electronic products and systems in the range of 1 to more than a million pieces per year.

Recently, Prodrive has developed AGVs to support factory logistic automation. AGVs are vehicles which autonomously transport goods (e.g. boxes with materials). AGVs are used within a production and warehouse environment for logistic purposes (i.e. goods flow). Our first prototypes are already operating in our production facilities. Currently we are improving these prototypes to market-ready products.

Assignment

Robots used throughout the manufacturing industry are capable of performing complex tasks with extreme accuracy. These kind of robots usually require complex software scripts involving a lot of fine-tuning for even the most basic tasks. An example of such robot is Prodrive’s self-developed vision controlled bin-picking robot, which picks and sorts-out odd-shaped objects.

Using the most recent developments on machine-learning, the student first has to conduct research in machine learning techniques that are capable of learning the robot to pick and sort-out new kinds of objects. An example of such technique could be deep reinforcement learning. Subsequently, the student implements this technique in Prodrive’s own robotics platform as a prove-of-concept with the goal to simplify and speed up the programming of robots.

Deliverables

• Pre-study of feasible machine learning techniques for vision controlled robots;
• Implementation of chosen technique;
• Tests to verify the implementation.

The operations department is responsible for production, assembly, testing and life-cycle-management of electronic products and systems in the range of 1 to more than a million pieces per year.

The Development department also develops machinery and tools for the automation of production steps in the Operations department. In that context, several robot solutions are currently being developed. For the sake of the flexibility of the robot solutions it is advantageous to automatically locate objects in the real world using visual sensors. Currently this is done using 2D cameras but the need arises to localize objects using 3D.

The 3D localization will be piloted in an application where stacks of delivered component reels on a conveyor belt are automatically destacked and booked into the warehouse by a robot with 3D vision. 3D algorithms vision must produce the location and thickness of the topmost reel. The tape reels can have various forms and colours and have a diameter of either 7” or 13”.

Assignment

The student will investigate the literature on 3D object-detection and -localization algorithms and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages. The training method and data (e.g. CAD, depth map, point cloud) used for localization is still open and part of the investigation. With the acquired knowledge, a suitable algorithm is designed and implemented given the constraints of the pilot application. The implemented algorithm is evaluated for performance using images of the reels captured with a 3D camera.

Deliverables

• Specification of localization algorithm requirements
• Exploration and selection of localization algorithms
• Design and implementation of selected algorithm with C# interface
• Evaluation of algorithm performance
