hela Sverige Semcon is now looking for 1-2 students who would like to do their thesis with us. It is important that you have a background within programming, systems and controls or mechatronics. You also have an interest for system simulation, mathematics, sensors and user experience.
Autonomous drive is a hot topic and large efforts are made on a global scale towards its full realization in various vehicle dependent sectors. A very popular area is indeed transportation, which is readily highlighted in media. The final product will have to comply with strict rules and legislation, many connected directly or indirectly to the relative high speed of the vehicle.
Another important sector is maintenance of urbanized areas such as cycle paths, and especially so during winter. This is normally performed with maintenance vehicles such as snowplows. The maintenance sector would benefit greatly from implementation of autonomous drive, which could increase operation precision, yield higher readiness, shorter deployment time, enable longer working periods and offer larger work capacity.
As the operational speed of the maintenance vehicle is low and it can be monitored by a remote operator, the introduction of autonomous vehicles is realistic even though they are expected to interact more often and closely with unprotected traffic participants (pedestrians, cyclists). To assure safe operation a number of sensors scan the vehicle surroundings to prevent and mitigate collisions and physical interaction.
The goal of this thesis is to implement one or a fusion of several GNSS-relying methods of navigating an autonomous utility vehicle. Precision and accuracy in position and direction/heading is of key importance. Several known methods are to be implemented and evaluated (vector navigation, potential field, previous-point, IMU, etc) as well as the fusion thereof. Also, data analysis and compensation of positioning data is to be evaluated vs benefits of additional hardware and its related costs. Since GNSS solution for positioning is prone to errors in highly urbanized areas with surrounding tall buildings, a quantitative study will be conducted utilizing simulation to estimate the amount of local reference points needed to assure accurate positioning should GNSS positioning fail. For the scope of the simulation the reference points will be for an arbitrary sensor while in practicality the reference points may be physical objects such as buildings, trees, bus stops or similar that are detected using for example camera or radar. The data analysis and simulation will be performed with real sensor data as well as synthesized data.
Please apply as soon as possible.
