Master's Thesis: Robotic Screw Driving (Robotics)

Location: Stockholm, Sweden; onsite

Company

hirify.global builds Factory OS for humanoid robots, including the Unitree G1-D, for high-mix, low-volume assembly.

What you will do

• Compare a gripper-picked handheld screwdriver, a dedicated end-effector with swappable bit heads, and a screwdriver mounted on the robot arm or wrist.
• Evaluate each approach by fastener and thread size range, minimum torque and axial force, adaptor requirements, position precision, and accuracy.
• Select and justify a solution that balances mechanical complexity with the gripper's other uses.
• Design and build a working prototype with its own power source and a microcontroller-based control interface.
• Drive the robot through the screwing sequence under teleoperation and validate repeated, reliable tool use.

Requirements

• Master's student in mechatronics, machine design, or robotics.
• Comfortable with both mechanical and electrical design.
• Ability to develop and validate a physical robotics prototype.

Culture & Benefits

• Technical supervision from a company supervisor.
• Access to a real Unitree G1-D humanoid robot.
• Workshop and prototyping support as available.
• Hosted by hirify.global AB in Stockholm within the Robotics department.

Hiring process

• Send a CV and a GitHub, LinkedIn, or website link.
• Explain why the thesis interests you and share an example of work you are proud of.
