Python Job: Intern-Trajectory planning & Motion control-2

Software development – Trajectory Planning prototype
Software development – Motion Planning prototype
About our team:
We build best-in-class software for Autonomous driving functions for Mercedes Benz passenger cars. We are a team of talented engineers working in a global network to develop the next generation of Driver Assistance features used in all Mercedes Benz cars sold globally.
About the role:
We require interns to support the implementation and validation of two prototype algorithms:
1. Implementation and benchmarking of a prototype Model Predictive Control function for lateral motion control
The role involves development of a prototype MPC controller for lateral vehicle motion control, in Matlab and Targetlink. We intend to benchmark the performance of this controller compared to the existing approach. The benchmarking is to be performed with software-in-loop simulation environment and on test vehicle.
0. Implementation and benchmarking of a trajectory planner functions
The role involves development of software in Python, C++ for a trajectory planner prototype, intended for future use in the Mercedes Benz Autonomous driving stack.

• Study academic literature to understand current approaches to the problem
• Develop and validate prototype implementations

Compare performance across implementations, bring improvements through your own ideas
