Job description

In this thesis, our objective is to develop assistive boat parking systems that can possibly autonomously navigate in a harbor and complete a parking task. So, you will need to develop model-based motion planning and control algorithm for an autonomous rigid inflatable boat. To achieve such an objective, the following tasks must be accomplished: Modeling and simulation, Low-level motion control, and Motion Planning.

Internship main topic:

Controls for nautical applications.

Candidate requirements/Course of study:

A team of highly motivated students with a basic background in automatic control, modeling of vehicle dynamics, and signal processing. Good knowledge of Matlab/Simulink and basic programming skills are welcome.

Location: Naples or full remote
