About The Role

Muks Robotics AI Pvt. Ltd. is seeking a motivated

Robotics Intern

with interest and hands-on exposure in both robotic hardware systems and ROS-based software development. This role provides a balanced experience across embedded electronics, sensor integration, ROS1/ROS2 software, SLAM, navigation, and autonomous robotic systems. You will work directly on real robots - building, wiring, testing, and deploying full robotic pipelines - from perception and control to navigation and system integration.

Key Responsibilities

• ROS Development (Software & System Integration)
  

Develop, test, and deploy robotic applications using ROS1 and ROS2.

Work With ROS Navigation And Mapping Frameworks

SLAM (Cartographer, RTAB-Map, Hector SLAM)Navigation stacks (ROS Nav2 / AMCL / Move Base)Create and manage ROS packages, nodes, launch files, and URDF/Xacro robot descriptions.Utilize tools such as rviz, rqt, rosbag, TF2, and Gazebo for debugging and simulation.

• Embedded Systems & Electronics (Hands-On Hardware Work)
  

Develop firmware for Arduino, STM32, Raspberry Pi, and similar microcontrollers.
Interface and calibrate hardware modules and sensors.Work with motor drivers and actuators including DC motors, BLDC motors, stepper motors, and servo motorsImplement and troubleshoot communication protocols UART, I2C, SPI, RS485, CAN (bonus)Perform wiring, assembly, soldering, circuit testing, and debugging on physical robot platforms.

• Sensor Integration & Perception
  

Integrate and configure sensors such as 2D/3D Lidar, IMU, wheel encoders, ultrasonic sensors, depth cameras
Work on sensor fusion concepts (IMU + encoder).Contribute to perception pipelines for Obstacle detection, Environment mapping and Localization.

• SLAM, Navigation & Autonomy
  

Assist in implementing mapping, path planning, and localization algorithms.
Tune navigation parameters for smooth autonomous movement.Perform real-world tests to validate mapping, obstacle avoidance, and robot behavior.Analyze logs, debug issues, and optimize the robots autonomous performance.

• Testing, Debugging & Deployment
  

Conduct hardware and software tests on robot prototypes.Diagnose performance issues in sensors, control systems, or ROS nodes.Help integrate end-to-end robotic systems in field tests and client demos.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Robotics & Automation or related field.Basic understanding of ROS1/ROS2 (projects, coursework, or hands-on experience).Familiarity with Python, C, and C++ for embedded and robotics programming.Knowledge of microcontrollers such as Arduino, STM32, Raspberry Pi.Understanding of motor control, drivers, and robotics controllers.Basics of SLAM, navigation, and localization.Exposure to sensors like Lidar, encoders, IMU, and depth cameras.Working knowledge of electronics fundamentals (wiring, voltage levels, circuits).

Good To Have (Preferred)

Experience with the ROS2 Navigation2 stack.Simulation tools: Gazebo, RViz, Webots, Isaac Sim.Understanding of TF frames, kinematics, and URDF modeling.Basic AI/ML concepts for robotics (optional).
