Robotics Intern

 

The Company

​

HumanITas Solutions develops ICT and Robotics solutions for emergency response scenarios, as well as any field operations in limited resource environments. Our unique concept is to combine swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, also known as drones) with ad-hoc telecommunication networks and the latest 3D and mobile development technologies to offer a suite of collaborative solutions for data gathering and coordination of complex operations in any kind of situations, including austere environments without telecommunication networks.

 

For instance, surveying and monitoring of extended regions (even remote ones) can be dramatically speeded up with our swarm of autonomous UAVs capable of operating without any pre-existing telecommunication infrastructures, under the supervision of just one user with a tablet running our mission planner app.

 

We are looking for a new robotics intern to join our journey and contribute to our quest for efficient, collaborative drone operation in low-resource environments.

The intern will participate in the development of the two main components of our drone swarming ecosystem to make it suitable for programmed missions:

​

• New collaborative behaviors to be loaded on our proprietary swarming engine (compatible with any kind of drones).

• The hyper-realistic simulator for improved testing and certification of swarm-based technology.

 

The ultimate goal is to deliver a fully working solution for autonomous monitoring and object detection for remote areas and large infrastructure sites.

​

The Team

 

We are an ambitious group of young people who aim to contribute to a little change in the world by creating IT solutions that would help in the emergency services around the world.

​

Compassion is at the core of our business and our collaboration is stimulated by our desire to challenge our limits and explore our potential.
