One of these three main projects:

• Improving the Ram Air Turbine, used for generating onboard power to fly indefinitely, at different aspects: protective cage/duct, shape and size of the blades and improving the inhouse production process of the blades.
• Continuing development on our kite testing and characterization platform, to support prototyping scaled kites to facilitate the derivation of flight paths and controller settings for our larger kites of the system. This will also help to validate software models for kite design.
• Improving an automated tether wear inspection system, working on a previous research where convolutional neural network (CNN)- based image classification was used to automate the inspections after each flight. Improvements possible in system design refinement, machine learning optimization, hardware integration and performance validation.

Next to that we can use your help for:

• Identify and troubleshoot electrical and mechatronic issues in the current designs to improve system performance and reliability.
• Conduct thorough testing and validation of mechatronic and electronic components to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards.
• Create and maintain documentation related to electrical and mechatronic designs, including schematics, PCB layouts, and assembly instructions.
