Internship: Computer Vision & Machine Learning for Autonomous Mowing Robot

As an intern in Computer Vision and Machine Learning, you will contribute to the development of the next generation of vision technology for the Lely Exos, our autonomous grass mowing robot. Your work focuses on using camera data to assess mowing quality and estimate knife wear, allowing farmers to maintain optimal mowing performance. You will work hands-on with real robot data, explore advanced ML techniques and help prepare the model for use across different robots, farms and conditions.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Collecting image datasets at test farms in the Netherlands

• Labelling training and test data to support model development

• Conducting literature research into relevant Machine Learning approaches

• Training and evaluating ML models using Python and Pytorch

• Applying data augmentation and developing strategies for model generalisation

• Supporting integration of the model i...
