Job-ID : MER0003MRL

Are you passionate about robots taking over the world? Then look no further! We are constantly looking for highly motivated students to join our autonomous car research team in Stuttgart, Germany in the following area :

Navigating urban areas presents unique challenges for autonomous vehicles, requiring sophisticated algorithms and custom-generated data to ensure safety and reliability. Within the publicly funded projects STADT : up (stadtup-online.de) and nxtAIM (nxtaim.de), we are dedicated to developing advanced algorithms to address these challenges. Our research focuses on developing novel neural network architectures that enhance the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles in urban areas. In addition to that, we are pioneering methods to generate new data, which is vital for training and optimizing our models. These innovative approaches aim to improve the performance and adaptability of autonomous driving systems, enabling them to navigate complex urban scenarios safely and efficiently.

You can look forward to working with a diverse team of international colleagues and enjoying good coffee as well as the occasional cake (we love it when you bring one to share!).

We are conducting research on two main domains :

• Adopting Generative Models for Autonomous Driving :

As part of the nxtAIM project, this initiative focuses on using generative AI to create new data crucial for training and optimizing autonomous vehicle models, enhancing their adaptability and performance in complex urban environments

Under the STADT : up project, this effort aims to refine 3D object detection algorithms, crucial for perception systems. You'll enhance the accuracy and reliability of detecting and interpreting objects in real-time for safer urban navigation

In our department, you'll have the opportunity to explore the development of cutting-edge autonomous driving algorithms. Furthermore, you can gain valuable insights into how these advanced systems are integrated into our vehicles, enhancing safety and driving experience.

The tasks of the working student will include :

Working students can start working from August 2025.
