Description
Internship offer - Floor type detection using ultrasound time-of-flight sensors

Founded in 2003, InvenSense Inc., a TDK Group Company, is the world's leading provider of MEMS sensor platforms. InvenSense's vision of Sensing Everything targets the consumer electronics and industrial markets with integrated Motion and Sound solutions.

Our solutions combine MEMS (micro electrical mechanical systems) sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, compasses, and microphones with proprietary algorithms and firmware that intelligently process, synthesize, and calibrate the output of sensors, maximizing performance and accuracy.

InvenSense's motion tracking, audio and location platforms, and services can be found in many of the world's largest and most iconic brands including smartphones, tablets, wearables, drones, gaming devices, internet of things, automotive products, and remote controls for smart TVs.

InvenSense is headquartered in San Jose, CA and has offices in Boston, China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan,
France, Canada, Slovakia, and Italy. We're looking for top-notch students to join our global intern team. If you're interested in being a part of our journey and helping us grow to become the leading provider of
SoC platform solutions, we definitely want to hear from you.

We are looking for motivated students to join our 2023 Summer Intern Program Our intern program includes real work assignments, Intern Appreciation Day (interacting with CEO and VPs), Networking
Lunch with hiring managers, technical talks, New Hire Panel with recent grads, play with technology, off
- site fun events, and more


Detailed description of the internship:

The ultrasonic echo signal magnitude varies according to the reflecting material.

The goal of this internship is to study the feasibility and proceed with the development of an algorithm that can distinguish different floor types apart such as tile floors, carpets, grass, rocks or sand, using range and amplitude information from one or multiple ultrasound sensor(s) on the edge of a robot, facing the ground.

The intern will learn how to setup and collect data with CHX01 sensors, they will be guided to identify the best fitting height and angle to place the sensor(s) in order to optimize the data, develop an algorithm in C or python based on observations made from data collected with different floor types to detect them, evaluate performances and produce a live demo for real time experimentation.

In summary, this internship provides the intern experience with all essential steps of the conception and deployment of a data acquisition and data processing algorithm in a customer product.


Tasks:


  • Learning: get familiar with ultrasound sensor hardware.
  • Learning: get familiar with existing inhouse algorithms.
  • Characterization: database collection and annotation.
  • Implementation: prototype solution using Python or C.
  • Evaluation: classification accuracy, false detection rate, memory consumption, response latency.
  • Evaluation: Describe limitations of the applied solution.

Required skills:

Programming in C/Python/MATLAB. Good knowledge of signal processing and problem-solving skills. Desire for running experiments with sensor prototypes. Pragmatic mindset, autonomy and creativity are paramount skills for this challenging problem.
