Mechatronics Engineer Intern
Desion GmbH
I designed and prototyped a pneumatic gripper for soft fabric handling using 3D printing and Autodesk Inventor, while also assisting in the setup of an automation system for textile handling. Additionally, I developed multi-threaded Python scripts to automate a proprietary robotic textile handling system and created a custom Python library for SMC rotary and Pololu drives, successfully integrating it into the operational cycle.

During my internship, I developed a UWB-based indoor positioning system that enabled precise location tracking in environments with high signal interference. I programmed Qorvo's UWB modules to function as anchors or tags and created a Raspberry Pi application to convert UWB signals into readable coordinates. The system transmitted data in NMEA format for mapping and calculated local to global coordinates using the Haversine formula. It seamlessly switched between GNSS and UWB modes, defaulting to GNSS but transitioning to UWB when necessary. Testing confirmed reliable indoor navigation with UWB and effective GNSS functionality outdoors.
