Italdesign is expanding its activities in the field of robotics to diversify the services offered to customers and, at the same time, to further enhance the quality delivered to major automotive clients.

Among the services offered to the market is the production of prototypes, whose first manufacturing step involves installing hundreds of fasteners of various sizes onto the vehicle frame. These fasteners serve as critical mounting points for cables and other components, requiring extremely high positional accuracy. A robotic system will enable the company to fully automate this activity, increasing efficiency and minimizing human error.

Thesis Project

As thesis student, you will be supported by your Tutor to analyse and develop the following thesis project about the design of a modular robotic arm and its end-effectors to fully automatize the installation of fasteners on vehicle frames.

During the thesis project, the student will be required to carry out the following activities:

• Functional and environmental requirements analysis: study of the technical requirements; constraints on precision, repeatability, and robustness;
• Interpolated mobile base (7th axis): available models and layout compatibility;
• Collaborative robotic arm: degrees of freedom, payload, reach, end-effector compatibility;
• Modular end-effectors: welding systems, tool change, adaptability to pin types;
• Full system CAD layout;
• Mechanical interfaces between base, arm, and end-effector;
• Accessibility and footprint analysis on the production line;
• Power supply, cabling, safety systems;
• Compatibility with existing layout and automotive standards;
• Technical specifications of selected components;
• Engineering rationale for each choice;
• Procurement plan and estimated costs.

Italdesign is expanding its activities in the field of robotics to diversify the services offered to customers and, at the same time, to further enhance the quality delivered to major automotive clients.

Among the services offered to the market is the production of Low Series (LS) Premium vehicles, which require exceptionally high-quality standards. Unlike mass production, which follows a standardized process, LS assembly is tailored to each individual vehicle. This requires continuous quality checks at the end of every phase to ensure full compliance with specifications. A robotic system will support the company in fully automating these activities and increasing the applied quality standards.

Thesis Project

As thesis student, you will be supported by your Tutor to analyse and develop the following project about the design of an Autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGV) and a robotic arm to fully automatize quality checks providing more flexibility in the use inside the company.

During the thesis project, the student will be required to carry out the following activities:

• Analysis of current quality processes: map manual inspections, bottlenecks, variant impact on procedures and time;
• Technology benchmarking: AGVs suitable for premium environments (cleanliness, safety, precision stops); Collaborative vs. industrial robotic arms (reach, stiffness, speed, safety regimes);
• Functional: measurement types, accuracy/repeatability targets, accessibility, vehicle variants;
• Non‑functional: safety, ergonomics, robustness/availability, takt/cycle‑time targets;
• HMI: operator roles, interventions, alarms, recoveries;
• Navigation & mobility constraints in the LS production environment (lanes, docking points, forbidden zones);
• Measurement systems (laser/structured‑light scanners, photogrammetry, contact/inductive);
• Tool‑changer & modular end‑effectors (payload, repeatability, utilities);
• Propose 2–3 architectures;
• Pros/cons with engineering justification (stability, reachability, inspection coverage, takt);
• Mechanical risk register: stability, vibrations, potential collisions, cable/energy supply;
• Preliminary Hardware definition (types of sensors, control board, electric motors, etc..);
• Early feasibility layout: rough CAD mockups, reach envelopes.

Italdesign is looking for an enthusiastic and smart student passionate about automotive, eager to join an innovative and international business environment, working in an agile way and embracing a strong team spirit.

You will gain a great experience in learning all the instruments, procedures and technical aspects with the support of your tutor and colleagues of the Department.

You will be involved in an interesting project concerning an automotive vehicle dynamics software application within the Vehicle Chassis dynamic company department. You will contribute to the design, development and implementation of an AI-based algorithm to estimate the vertical forces at the four corners of the vehicle. The algorithm shall be able to run in real-time within the vehicle ECU.

Estimating vertical forces at four corners is a challenging task, which is typically not available in most standard vehicle configurations in the automotive market, as it requires significant effort. Knowing these values can enhance the performance of vehicle dynamics control systems. The goal of this activity is to develop an efficient methodology capable of satisfying this requirement and suitable for implementation on stock vehicles.

Thesis Project

As thesis student, you will be supported by your Tutor and will mainly face the following tasks:

• Literature review about the considered theme;
• Vehicle instrumentation and on-road tests to collect data from vehicle;
• Data analysis and signal processing;
• Development and implementation of the algorithm;
• Result validation;
• Detailed Report with activity description;
• Facultative: Vehicle on-board integration for final validation.
