Thesis Optimal Input Excitation for Parameter Estimation in Electromechanical Brake Actuators

Company Description

At Bosch, we shape the future by inventing high-quality technologies and services that spark enthusiasm and enrich people’s lives. Our promise to our associates is rock-solid: we grow together, we enjoy our work, and we inspire each other. Join in and feel the difference.

The Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application!

Job Description

• During your assignment, you will participate in a study on electromechanically actuated brakes.
• You will review state of the art methods for optimal experiment design for mechatronic systems with respect to robustness against parameter uncertainties and constraints.
• Furthermore, you will investigate and develop innovative methods which can be based on classical optimization, reinforcement learning, etc. and your own ideas.
• Finally, you will evaluate and test your methods on an electromechanical brake actuator in simulation and on real hardware with the goal of robustly estimating control relevant parameters.

Qualifications

• Education: Master studies in the field of Engineering Cybernetics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics with a strong background in dynamical systems modelling and optimization or comparable
• Experience and Knowledge: practical experience in modelling mechatronic systems and system identification methods as well as relevant software tools (MATLAB, Simulink and/or Python, Julia, ...), projects on related problems on GitHub or collaboration on published scientific work are nice to have
• Languages: very good in German and in English written and spoken
