Implementing a force-, velocity- and impulse-based PID controller for precise and responsive hand movements in a virtual environment. The virtual environment used in Unreal Engine in combination with Virtual Reality devices. The movements of the human user will be mapped to the virtual hands, and controlled via the implemented PID controllers. The controller should be able to dynamically tune itself depending on the executed actions (opening/closing a drawer or lifting a heavy object) in combination with the physical limitations of the physics engine (dynamic update rates).

Requirements:

• Good C++ programming skills
• Familiar with PID controllers and control theory
• Experience with simulators/physics-/game- engines
• Familiar with Unreal Engine API
• Familiar with version-control systems (git)
• Able to work independently with minimal supervision
