Mercedes-Benz PhD student Machine Learning – Safety Monitoring in Autonomous Driving 2025

The primary objective is to devise a method that dynamically monitors system operation, detects failures, and triggers corrective actions, maintaining safety while satisfying statistical guarantees.

Responsibilities:

  • Assess the current state-of-the-art in runtime monitoring of safety-critical robotics applications including but not limited to automated driving
  • Advance your knowledge in related fields like representation learning, generative models, multi-modal LLMs, statistical machine learning, machine learning with guarantees, conformal prediction, and out-of-distribution detection
  • Develop probabilistic models and algorithms to monitor the system’s operation points
  • Collect and analyze data from diverse test drives, including both real-world and simulated recordings
  • Validate the efficacy of the developed models through available data, simulation and additional test drives
  • Integrate the monitoring system into test vehicles
  • Organize the recruiting and supervision of students to contribute to your research
  • Document research findings and publish in scientific articles

The requirement for hiring is the supervision of the PhD project by a university lecturer. The PhD student is responsible for choosing his/her/their own supervisor.
