Internship: Robotics & Digital Twins – Build the Future of Autonomous Farming

Internship opportunity at Lely to work on autonomous robots and digital twins for smart dairy farming. You will develop a scaled farm model and its digital twin, working with the Mirte Master robot and beamer-based projection system. Requires enrollment in a technical HBO program and affinity with robotics.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assemble physical robots based on a detailed bill of materials (BOM)
  • Create a virtual twin of the robots in a 3D simulation environment (e.g., Unity3D)
  • Develop a system to track the robot's lifecycle: as designed, as built, and as maintained
  • Integrate real-time data streams into the digital model
  • (Optional) Expand the virtual environment with existing models of Mirte Pioneer robots
  • Construct a physical scaled model of a smart dairy farm with robot interaction zones
  • Develop a digital twin of the farm, aligned with the physical layout (e.g., Unity3D)
  • Implement a system to simulate and project real-time operational data onto the farm model using a beamer
  • Integrate sensor feedback and behavior data into the virtual environment for monitoring and control
