Master Thesis: Bilevel-Optimization on Motion Simulators
vor 2 Wochen
What to expectIn the Department for Flight Control and Simulation, one of the main activities is the development of full-motion simulators and their control algorithms. The algorithms consist of two parts. The first leads to the actual movement of the platform by providing joint angles or a Cartesian pose, which is then processed by the platform's controller. The second part, the motion cueing algorithm, transfers the motion from a simulation (e.g. flight simulation or driving simulation) to the workspace of the motion platform.In this thesis you will develop a practical motion cueing algorithm based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) for a novel motion simulator. A key focus is the design of an input/trajectory parametrization using implicitly constrained B-splines, formulated as a bilevel optimization problem.Your tasksFamiliarize with the current setup of the 8 DOF motion platform, which includes the mechanical, system dynamics and control aspectsSetup of an MPC motion cueing algorithm in CasADiLiterature research on methods to solve bilevel optimization problemsImplement implicit constrained B-Splines for the MPC algorithmComparison of implemented methods in terms of quality and performanceYour profileBachelors degree in mathematics, mechatronics, informatics or a comparable study programmeGood programming skills in PythonKnowledge in system dynamicsBeing able to work responsibly and independently

Cologne, Deutschland Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR) VollzeitWhat to expect In crashworthiness optimization, we aim to design vehicles that are robust, safe, and lightweight. Evaluating these designs is computationally expensive, so we use surrogate models to approximate costly simulations. However, mathematical bottlenecks within the surrogate modeling process can limit efficiency and accuracy. In this Master’s...

Cologne, Deutschland Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR) VollzeitWhat to expectIt is well known that optical turbulence has detrimental effects on optical measurements such as in astronomy (seeing) or in free-space communication. The same is true for laser-based atmospheric lidar systems. With the objective of measuring wind speeds and turbulence as an input for feed-forward flight control, an interferometry-based Doppler...
