Zusammenfassung

AIT Austrian Institute of Technology in Vienna invites applications for a master thesis on hybrid motion planning for real-time model predictive control in robotics. You will explore combining gradient-based and sampling-based optimisation to improve trajectory generation.

Responsibilities include literature review, algorithm analysis, MATLAB implementation, simulation-based evaluation on ground vehicles, and an experimental test on a Husky platform, under expert supervision.

Qualifikationen

• Ongoing master's studies in automation & control or related field.
• Excellent knowledge in optimization.
• Excellent knowledge of MATLAB and Python.
• Strong analytical capabilities and technical understanding.
• Interest in industry-oriented applied questions.

Aufgaben

• Conduct a comprehensive literature review of motion planning methods and solvers.
• Analyse and compare existing algorithms for hybrid planning.
• Implement the selected algorithms in MATLAB.
• Evaluate the methods in simulation with ground vehicles.
• Perform an experimental evaluation on a Husky platform.
• Analyze results and derive recommendations for future research.
• Discuss results with interdisciplinary experts from mathematics, informatics, physics and control.
