Job description

The UWICORE laboratory at the Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche (Spain) offers 1 post-doc, 1 PhD and 1 Research Engineer positions to develop cognitive 5G/AI-powered Digital Twins for Automated Mobility utilizing cooperative perception. Cooperative perception will enable the exchange of sensed information among connected automated vehicles (and infrastructure nodes) to enhance their perception of the driving environment. Designing an effective and efficient cooperative perception is a complex task since it involves efficient and low latency V2X communications, realistic driving environments and sensor fusion algorithms to fuse locally sensed data with data exchange over V2X.

In this context, the project will design and implement a software/simulation platform for the generation of digital twins of the driving environment based on cooperative perception for connected automated driving. The SW platform will bundle networking, driving and ADAS/sensor emulation capabilities leveraging and evolving existing high-fidelity open 3D simulation engines (e.g. CARLA), autonomous driving open software stacks (e.g. Autoware or Apollo) and V2X communication capabilities to connect the different simulated agents (vehicles and infrastructure nodes) using and extending the models/tools developed at our lab.

Using the implemented SW platform, research will be conducted to address fundamental questions related to cooperative perception and other cooperative AD functions (e.g. maneuver coordination), such as when and how sensed data should be exchanged, as well as design and evaluate novel AI-powered connectivity solutions for connected and automated mobility (including the generation of the necessary datasets using the SW platform bundling networking, driving and ADAS/sensor functionalities. These AI-based communications and networking solutions should target resilient, scalable and self-adaptable V2X networks capable to predict the evolution of V2X communications and the driving context to improve the operation of cooperative perception and other V2X-enabled connected and automated driving functions (e.g. maneuver coordination).

The specific tasks to be conducted by the Research Engineer for Autonomous Driving (Profile 1) include:

• Implement SW components for autonomous driving (AD) stack of the platform to enable cooperative perception, including modules for data format transformation and new ROS nodes for sensor fusion.
• Implementation/evolution of other AD agents and road infrastructure nodes in the high-fidelity 3D simulation engine of the platform with (simplified) cooperative perception capabilities.
• Evolve existing ROS bridges between the high-fidelity 3D simulation engine and the autonomous driving software stack of the platform to enable cooperative perception.
• Implementation of new high-fidelity 3D driving scenarios.
• Implementation of the necessary V2X components for the connection of different simulated agents leveraging existing models/tools provided by UWICORE.
• Generation of datasets using the implemented scenarios to train and validate AI-based solutions that will be studied in the framework of the project.

The specific tasks to be conducted by the Post-doc and PhD on V2X for AD (Profile 2) include:

• Design new V2X solutions for a scalable operation of cooperative perception through the context- and value-aware adaptation of the sensed data that is V2X-exchanged, that could include congestion control and redundancy control techniques.
• Design novel cognitive AI-powered connectivity and networking solutions for guaranteeing the scalability of the V2X network, that could include the prediction of the evolution of V2X communications and the driving context to improve the operation of cooperative perception, as well proactive mechanisms to estimate the optimum (time and content) generation of cooperative perception messages.
• Contribute to the development of the software platform as needed for the research and generation of datasets using the implemented scenarios to train and validate AI-based solutions that will be studied in the framework of the project.
