We are offering a master’s thesis opportunity for a motivated and talented student to explore the potential of replacing a physical sensor in an electromechanical brake control system with an AI-supported model. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the technical feasibility, performance, and safety implications of such a replacement, using real-world data and simulation environments.
YOUR TASKS
* Understanding the role and characteristics of the target sensor within the brake control system
* Collecting and analyzing sensor data to identify patterns and dependencies.
* Designing and training AI models (e.g., regression, neural networks) to replicate sensor behavior
* Evaluating model performance under various operating conditions
* Assessing the reliability, latency, and safety aspects of the AI-based approach
* Documenting findings and providing recommendations for potential integration
YOUR PROFILE
* Enrolled in a Master’s program in Computer Science, Physics, or Electrical Engineering
* Programming skills in Python and C
* Proficient in English and German
* Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills
* Independent, structured, and reliable working style
