Développement, simulation et test d'un système de navigation autonome d'un véhicule, au sein du groupe Neuro du laboratoire de robotique. •Mise à jour du système complet de simulation de la méthode de conduite autonome (frameworks python, ROS vers ROS2, correction de bugs, …). •Mise en place de nouvelles fonctionnalités de tests de la simulation. •Calibration, automatisation et dépouillements de tests.

Designed of allocated functions of integrated modules/clusters inside embedded main calculators of vehicles using MATLAB/Simulink.  Understood and interpretated of new requirements of allocated functions.  Implemented allocated functions inside Simulink’s models.  Tested implemented functions by doing vector tests using Excel files.  Verified the rate of coverage of implemented functions.  Done delivery process. Corrected anomalies of models.  Analyzed of HIL test results using CANalyser.  Synthesized and explained of analysis of anomalies.  Tested of corrected models using Simulink and done delivery process. Tested the coverage and functionalities of requirements of models  Generated test vectors using Excel from requirements of functional specifications.  Tested MIL of requirements from test vectors using Simulink.  Verified the coverage rate of allocated functions using MATLAB. Validated the quality of models using MATLAB tools like Model Advisor and Design Verifier.

Developed an accurate automatic positioning method of an electric vehicle for a wireless charging device with an objective of optimizing the energy transfer efficiency.  Analysed the state of the art, things as they stand and limits of car manufacturers’ solutions (read scientific articles, car makers’ videos …).  Validated of a method to do as an automated advanced park-assist. Designed and simulated a park-assist system using MATLAB/Simulink.  Designed a mathematical model of the dynamic behaviour of a vehicle.  Designed the path planning of a vehicle.  Designed the control system and the path tracking of a vehicle (inverted of dynamics and parametrized curves).  Made a 2D real time simulator plotting the behaviour of a vehicle.  Simulated a test bench of different parameters.  Compared and concluded about different control and path tracking strategies. Designed an electromagnetic tracking strategy in order to improve the accuracy of inductive coils alignment.  Designed a mathematical model of the concept.  Wrote a scientific article for future publication.
