Phd Position for Model Predictive Control with
vor 3 Wochen
**The research group Cyber-Physical Systems of Prof. Matthias Althoff at the Technical University of Munich offers a PhD position in the area of model predictive control with formal guarantees. The Technical University of Munich is one of the top research universities in Europe fostering a strong entrepreneurial spirit and international culture.**
**Expected Starting Date**: 01 May 2023-01 October 2023
**Closing Date for Applicants**:15 April 2023
**Duration**:3 years with a possible extension
**Project and Job Description**
Cyber-physical systems are complex systems that combine physical capabilities with computational capabilities. These include medical devices and systems, process controls, autonomous vehicles, avionic systems, energy systems, robots, manufacturing systems, and smart structures. The increasingly complex requirements of cyber-physical systems makes it very difficult to control them or even prove that their specification is met. For this reason, model predictive control with formal guarantees is an active area of research. However, there exist no scalable and formally correct synthesis methods for arbitrary nonlinear systems whose algorithmic parameters are automatically tuned.
To address this problem, we propose a synthesis approach that does not rely on any discretization and instead uses optimization techniques in combination with reachability analysis. We plan to translate temporal logic specifications into hybrid automata and compute the product automaton with the system to be controlled. This way, the model predictive control problem can be reformulated as reach-avoid problems for constrained and disturbed hybrid systems. Through optimization, we will obtain an optimal nominal solution and ensure that all other solutions originating from uncertain initial states, disturbances, and sensor noise also meet all constraints.
Among other use cases, we will evaluate our approach on our autonomous vehicle EDGAR. All developed algorithms will be available through our software tools CORA (cora.in.tum.de) for reachability analysis and AROC (aroc.cps.in.tum.de) for formal controller synthesis.
