We offer students a summer job in the Robotic Perception group (ROP) and also for the IT support team. Students become student research assistants working on a particular research project and paid by the project. Each student will have a supervisor. The specific agreement has to be done with her or him. See the list of topics below. Contact the supervisor of the topic you like.
The usual student summer job lasts from 4 to 6 weeks. The job can be divided into several nonconsecutive periods of time. The first two weeks serve for testing. If the student does not like the job or if the supervisor is not happy with the student performance, the job can be stopped after two weeks. Students who have not studied at the university yet are offered job for two weeks initially. If both sides of the contract, the student and the supervisor like it, the job can be prolonged.
The pay is counted for 160 hours per months at the following rates (before the tax is paid by the student) in CZK per hour → CZK per month: after A-level from the secondary school 120 → 19,200; after Bc1 130 → 20,800; after Bc2 140 → 22,400; after Bc3 150 → 24,000, after Mag1 160 → 25,600, after Mag2 170 → 27,200, after Mag/Ing graduation 190 → 30,400.
The list of topics, their brief descriptions and supervisors follow. Please, contact the supervisor if interested. If you need more general information or you do not know which topic to select, call Václav Hlaváč on his mobile phone number +420 603 149 689. He will help you.

- Topic I: Visual feedback for Human-Robot-Interaction
Supervisor: Jan Kristof Behrens / Karla Štěpánová
Description: When humans teach robots new tasks, it is crucial for them to know what the robot understood. The goal of this project is to compute visual representations on different abstraction levels for robotic manipulation tasks.
Team:
Note: None - Topic J: Planning of indoor mobile robot motion (occupied topic)
Supervisor: Vladimír Smutný
Description: We have a SLAM enabled robot, we need to get planning and performing the plan.
Team: Burak Sevsay, Varun Burde

Team: David Štych
Note:
- Topic L: Two arm manipulation of the flexible object (occupied topic)
Supervisor: Pavel Krsek, Vladimír Smutný
Description: Manipulating the flexible object by two robots is easy for highly flexible materials, more difficult for stiffer ones.
Team:
Note:
