I korthet

This master's thesis in Västerås, Sweden, focuses on the conceptual study of compact power electronics for industrial robot controllers. Students will investigate future semiconductor technologies like SiC and GaN, converter designs, and thermal aspects to enable more compact, flexible, and efficient robot systems.

Ansvarsområden

  • Investigate, on a conceptual level, how future power electronics technologies could enable more compact robot control solutions.
  • Study relevant semiconductor technologies, packaging concepts, and thermal design aspects.
  • Focus on feasibility, trade-offs, and key technology factors.
  • Analyze high-level requirements and constraints for compact integration of power electronics in industrial robot systems.
  • Benchmark relevant semiconductor technologies (SiC, GaN) and assess their potential for future compact drive solutions.
  • Explore conceptual converter and packaging approaches for compact industrial robot applications.
  • Investigate thermal design challenges and identify possible cooling principles for compact power electronics solutions.
  • Summarize key technology factors, potential feasibility limits, and areas for further investigation.

Krav

  • Master’s student in electrical engineering, power electronics, mechatronics, engineering physics, or a related field.
  • Good understanding of power electronics, electric drives, semiconductors, and/or thermal design.
  • Interest in industrial robotics, compact electronics design, and future automation technologies.
  • Ability to work independently, structure technical investigations, and compare different solution concepts.
  • Good written and spoken English.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • Experience with simulation or calculation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, LTspice, Ansys, or similar is an advantage.
  • Basic knowledge of SiC/GaN devices, converter topologies, or cooling concepts is beneficial but not required.
  • Swedish language skills are an advantage.

Förmåner

  • 30 ECTS credits
  • Opportunity to work with world-class experts in a fast-moving, innovation-driven environment.
  • Part of a pioneering team shaping the future of robotics.
  • The chance to contribute to a leading global robotics company.
