Job Summary
In this project, you will develop evaluation strategies for radio technologies in autonomous robots, analyze coverage and capacity, and create simulations to optimize link performance and localization.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Dive into the state of the art in radio technologies for large outdoor environments, focusing on solutions such as LoRa/LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi / Wi-Fi HaLow, private 5G / campus networks, UWB and mesh-based approaches.
- Derive system requirements from a representative large-scale outdoor robotics scenario: area size, typical link distances, number and type of nodes (mobile machines, fixed infrastructure, sensors), required data rates, latency bounds, availability and robustness needs.
- Analyze and model coverage and capacity of selected radio technologies, comparing coverage range per node, infrastructure density, achievable throughput and latency, device energy consumption, and scalability for different deployment concepts.
- Investigate coarse localization capabilities of radio technologies as a fallback in case of GNSS degradation or loss, e.g., using RSSI-based methods, time-difference-of-arrival (TDoA) or other multilateration approaches, and assess achievable accuracy.
- Study how radio-based information can support dead reckoning, analyzing to what extent translation (position change) and rotation (heading/orientation) can be inferred or stabilized from communication infrastructure.
- Develop simulation or analytical evaluation scenarios (e.g., in Python) to compare different radio technologies and configurations, perform sensitivity analyses and visualize trade-offs between coverage, localization quality, infrastructure effort and energy use.
- Work as part of an experienced research team, receive close mentorship from scientists in robotics, wireless communication and localization, and learn how to plan, document and present an applied research project in a professional R&D environment – giving your scientific career a strong, application-driven kick-start.
