Do you want to explore the frontier of autonomous systems?
In this thesis, we invite one or two students to design and develop a simulated autonomous vehicle platform equipped with virtual LiDAR and camera sensors. The simulation-first approach enables freedom to test and evaluate different algorithms, with the possibility to later transfer the work to a physical RC car for real-world validation.
About the project
The aim is to create a realistic simulation environment where an autonomous vehicle can navigate in dynamic indoor settings (e.g. office environments). Within this scope, you will:
- Develop and integrate LiDAR and camera models in a simulator.
- Investigate SLAM and navigation algorithms optimized for real-time performance.
- Explore multi-sensor fusion approaches to improve robustness in sub-optimal conditions.
- Apply your solution to a real RC car platform and compare simulation vs. reality, if time permits it.
Possible research questions
- Which sensors and algorithms are best suited for indoor autonomous navigation?
- How can SLAM algorithms be optimized for real-time use in dynamic environments?
- What is the impact of multi-sensor fusion on accuracy and robustness?
- How closely can simulation predict the performance of a real system?
Features & technologies
- ROS/ROS2 development.
- LiDAR and vision-based sensing.
- SLAM & navigation algorithms.
- Sensor fusion and positioning systems.
- Simulation frameworks (CARLA, GAZEBO).
Who are you?
We are looking for one or two master’s students with an interest in robotics, autonomous systems, and simulation. Experience with programming (Python or C++), ROS, or sensor technologies is valuable but not strictly required. Most importantly, you are curious and motivated to push the boundaries of autonomy.
To give you the best possible support during your thesis, we’d like you to be able to come to the office connected to the project and spend most of your time working from there.
Application:
We look forward to receiving your resume, and preferably, a personal letter in which you explain why you want to write your thesis with Syntronic.
We screen and evaluate applications on an ongoing basis. The thesis project may be filled before the application deadline.
