Technology, Data & Digital · Data, AI & Analytics · Machine Learning · Artificial Intelligence · Software Engineering

In short

This Master's thesis focuses on developing efficient world representations for end-to-end autonomous driving at TRATON Group R&D. You will investigate compact, task-aligned representations of sensor data for real-time trajectory planning in heavy-duty vehicles using public datasets and open-source models.

Responsibilities

Review relevant literature and help define a focused research question.
Set up or reproduce an open-source autonomous-driving model, simulator, or benchmark.
Implement and evaluate a method, benchmark extension, or experimental framework.
Analyze relevant trade-offs in planning performance, safety, generalization, latency, memory, or computational cost.
Document the work, present the results, and write the final thesis report.

Requirements

Pursuing a Master's degree in computer science, machine learning, robotics, engineering physics, electrical engineering, or a related technical field.
Strong programming skills, preferably in Python and PyTorch.
Knowledge of machine learning and deep learning.
Interest in autonomous driving, computer vision, transformers, representation learning, or simulation.
Motivation to combine scientific investigation with practical implementation.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with articulated or configuration-dependent constraints in autonomous driving.
Familiarity with evaluation and extension of public benchmarks.

Benefits

Contribute to EGoPT, a new industrial research project on World Models for Autonomous Driving.
Build relationships for the future within TRATON Group R&D.
Gain practical experience with state-of-the-art autonomous driving technology.
