In short

This Master's thesis at Ericsson Research will investigate the impact of 5G/6G network performance parameters like latency and throughput on networked robotic systems. You will develop mathematical models and propose methods to optimize network resource selection for robotic tasks.

Responsibilities

Investigate how network parameters (latency, throughput, jitter, packet loss) affect robotic performance.
Study application-level outcomes such as control accuracy, task completion time, and teleoperation stability.
Develop mathematical models describing the relationship between network and robot performance.
Derive and evaluate an empirical utility function for mapping network conditions to robotic performance.
Investigate applicability of the proposed mapping to different robotic systems and control architectures.
Propose and evaluate a method for selecting a suitable network operating point based on task and performance requirements.
Analyze results and identify potential improvements for future networked robotic systems.

Requirements

Pursuing an MSc in Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
Strong programming skills in Python, MATLAB, or similar tools.
Excellent mathematical knowledge.
Interest in algorithm development, modelling, experimentation, and testing.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Eagerness to develop innovative solutions to challenging problems.
Knowledge of robotics, control theory, or related areas.
Sound understanding of digital and wireless communications.

Benefits

Outstanding opportunity to use skills and imagination to push boundaries.
Build solutions for challenging problems.
Be challenged but not alone; join a team of diverse innovators.
Opportunity to craft what comes next.
