The overall goal of this project is to leverage the flexibility of FPGA architecture to test algorithms and/or control multiple motors in robotic systems. 

Oppgaven utføres i samarbeid med Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt (FFI) på Kjeller. 

Robot assistance for the elderly will need to solve many different tasks. One of these will be object search within the user's home. As we get older, short-term memory decreases, and remembering where specific objects are becomes difficult. Developing robots that can help with this specific task is an exciting application for robots.

The Tactile Internet–a communication network that is capable of delivering real-time control, touch, and sensing/actuation information through sufficiently reliable, responsive, and intelligent connectivity – is revolutionizing the understanding of what is possible through wireless communication systems, pushing boundaries of Internet-based applications to remote physical interaction. Such remote interaction capability can be used in surgery, driving, drone-based transportation, immersive education, and adventure, etc. Although the community envisions a bright future for the tactile internet, few works implement the physical platform and specify the barriers in enabling a smooth quality of experience (QoE) during the interaction. In this project, the candidate(s) will work in a team to identify those barriers and propose a novel algorithm in the network stack to enable an avatar robot in the real world.

What is the best way for a robot to tackle challenging surfaces? Prediction? Sensor data? AI processing? Parallell computing?

In the field of robotics, creating grippers that can perform tasks similar to the capabilities of a human hand, is still a challenge yet to be solved.
