Master Thesis: Combining MPC and AI on Motion Simulators
vor 2 Wochen
What to expectIn the department of flight control and simulation one of the main activities is the development of full motion simulators and algorithms to control them. The algorithms consist of two parts: the first part is called Motion Cueing Algorithm that transfers the motion from the simulation (e.g. flight simulation or driving simulation) to the workspace of the motion platform. The second leads to the actual movement of the platform by providing joint angles or a Cartesian pose that is processed by the controller of the platform. The goal of the thesis is to combine a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach with AI techniques to improve the movement significantly.Your tasksFamiliarize with the current setup of the motion platform (mechanical, system dynamics, control)Familiarize with the current setup of a MPC controller including a human perception model of the vestibular systemResearch on human perception and implementing a metric to measure the quality of the motion simulationApplying Reinforcement Learning to improve the MPC approach by changing parameters according to the current simulation (online)Your profileBachelors degree in mathematics, informatics or a comparable study programmeVery good programming skills in PythonKnowledge in AIBeing able to work responsibly and independently

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...

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...
