This was undergraduate thesis work in mechanical engineering, completed in 2002.
A SCARA robot arm was developed from first principles. Continuous path control was achieved by outfitting the motion controller from the LinuxCNC project (then known as EMC2) with the robot’s forward and inverse kinematics. The...
From August 2003 to August 2007, I worked with Research & Development at Mahindra & Mahindra’s Automotive Sector. M&M is one of India’s largest automotive companies.
I was part of a team developing M&M’s flagship product at the time, a Sports Utility Vehicle called the Mahindra...
In the summer of 2008 and 2009, I was involved full-time in two European Framework projects on cognitive robotics, CoSy and CogX.
CoSy
CoSy (Cognitive Systems for Cognitive Assistants) was an EU FP6 project with the goal of advancing “..the science of cognitive systems through a multi-disciplinary...
In 2011 and 2012, I was the lead system architect and programmer in the Scoop project. Scoop was a collaboration between researchers at KTH and the Scania truck company. The objective was to add limited self-driving capabilities to a Scania production-series truck (the R730) and participate in the Grand Cooperative...
DFEA2020 – Dependable and Flexible Electric Architecture 2020 was a large Swedish national project running from 2009 to 2012. The project goal was to enable functional growth in Green, Safe and Connected vehicles for the year 2020 and beyond, via the vehicle’s Electrical/Electronics architecture. The...
In May 2013, I defended my licentiate thesis. The licentiate in Sweden is an academic degree mid-way between a Master and PhD. The title of the thesis is Architecting Autonomous Automotive Systems.
As is common in the Nordic countries, the thesis is compilation thesis, which is different from the traditional monograph...
