Master thesis - AI uncertainty to guardrails

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

In short

This Master's thesis project focuses on AI uncertainty and safety guardrails for autonomous heavy-duty vehicles. You will conduct a literature review on uncertainty representation and its role in safety-critical decisions, working with researchers from TRATON and KTH.

Responsibilities

Review uncertainty definitions and sources in learned driving-policy outputs.
Compare methods for estimation, representation, calibration, and evaluation of AI uncertainty.
Study how uncertainty can guide safety margins, constraints, interventions, and fallback decisions.
Recommend future research directions on uncertainty-aware safety supervision.

Requirements

Master's student in Systems, Control and Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
Experience in machine learning, probabilistic methods, autonomous driving, robotics, planning and control, or literature reviews is beneficial.

Desired Qualifications

Focus on scene-level representations, predictions, and nominal trajectories.
Sensor, perception, and localization uncertainty are included only when they propagate to these outputs.

Benefits

Excellent way to get closer to TRATON Group R&D.
Build relationships for the future.
Work with researchers and engineers at TRATON and KTH.
