Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future. If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match.\nBackground\nCurrently, it is unclear which communication and fleet management architecture provides the best performance, scalability, and robustness for an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) fleet. Therefore, this thesis will investigate and evaluate different approaches to provide guidance for the future implementation and deployment of AMR systems.\nThesis Scope & Deliverables\nThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate which type of communication technology and fleet management architecture is most suitable for coordinating a fleet of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), with a focus on robustness, scalability, real-time performance, and efficient resource utilization.\nWhich communication technology is most suitable for the AMR fleet, such as Wi-Fi, private 5G, long-range technologies or other wireless communication technologies.\nShould fleet management be centralized, decentralized, or hybrid?\nHow do communication latency, packet loss, and network load affect the performance of an AMR fleet?\nMovAI simulation test \nHow should task allocation and prioritization between robots be managed?\nHow can the system scale from a small number of AMRs to a larger fleet?\nWhich criteria should be used to evaluate and compare different solutions?\nSuitable Background\nRobotics and/or Mechatronics\nThesis Information\n Level: 30 credits (Master’s thesis)\nLanguage: Swedish or English\nStart date: 18 January 2027\n Location: VCE Eskilstuna Operations (on site preferred)\nNumber of students: Preferably 2 students\nContact Persons\nAnna Eckervald Nilsson\n\nNatalie Agerskans\n\nThe recruitment process is ongoing, and the position may be filled before the application deadline.\nWe value your data privacy and therefore do not accept applications via mail.\nWho we are and what we believe in\nWe are committed to shaping the future landscape of efficient, safe, and sustainable transport solutions.
