MSc Networked Robot Control & Wireless Systems Research

Ericsson; Luleå kommun; On-site; SEK 357,000 - 580,000; Full time

Job summary

Ericsson Research in Sweden is seeking an MSc candidate to explore how network performance impacts robotic systems. The role focuses on modelling, experimentation, and developing mappings from network conditions to robot performance.

You will study latency, throughput, jitter, and packet loss effects on control accuracy and teleoperation stability, while building mathematical models and evaluating empirical utilities to guide network operating points.

Qualifications

• Is pursuing an MSc in Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Has strong programming skills in Python, MATLAB, or similar tools.
• Has excellent mathematical knowledge.
• Is interested in algorithm development, modelling, experimentation, and testing.
• Has strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Is eager to develop innovative solutions to challenging problems.
• Has knowledge of robotics, control theory, or related areas.
• Has a sound understanding of digital and wireless communications.

Responsibilities

• Investigate how network parameters such as latency, throughput, jitter, and packet loss affect robotic performance.
• Study application-level outcomes such as control accuracy, task completion time, task success rate, and teleoperation stability.
• Develop mathematical models that describe the relationship between network performance and robot performance.
• Derive and evaluate an empirical utility function for mapping network conditions to robotic performance.
• Investigate whether the proposed mapping can be applied to different robotic systems and control architectures, or whether it needs to be learned separately for each system.
• Propose and evaluate a method for selecting a suitable network operating point based on the robot’s task and performance requirements.
• Analyse the results and identify potential improvements for future networked robotic systems.
