Posted 5
views
Summary
Designs and implements motion-planning and control modules that enable autonomous vehicles to navigate tight, low-speed scenarios, characterizing vehicle dynamics and reducing simulation-to-reality gaps. Core work involves nonlinear MPC, MPPI, optimal control, and high-performance C++ on production vehicle platforms.
You will design and implement motion-planning and control modules for accurate autonomous navigation in tight scenarios. You will characterize vehicle dynamics, reduce simulation-to-reality gaps, and apply research to create optimal-control solutions using nonlinear MPC and MPPI.
