About the role

The autonomous team in Trondheim is now searching for 2-3 summer students to join us working with state-of-the-art ship autonomy development for the summer 2027.

You will be working with the ReVolt platform, consisting of a 1:20 scale model of the ReVolt in addition to a digital twin of the physical scale model.

ReVolt is an unmanned and zero-emission ship concept designed for short sea shipping along the coast of Norway.
The ReVolt was designed for low energy consumption and the propulsion system is fully electric.

Today, the scale model of the ReVolt vessel includes sensors for estimating own position and motion in addition to LIDAR, stereo camera and a radar for observing the area around ReVolt. ReVolt is equipped with a 5G router, and a SIM card for transmitting data and commands between ReVolt and a remote control station. A connection to cloud storage and computing in Microsoft Azure is also established.

The digital twin, a virtual model, of the ReVolt scale model was developed to test and explore new control algorithms on the digital twin before integrating this control system on the physical model of ReVolt

The summer students will:

  • work on the physical ReVolt model, doing maintenance, implementing new features, control algorithms,
  • focus on the digital twin for incorporating sensor simulations using pyGemini etc,
  • work with situational awareness system using computer vision and sensor fusion algorithms as one of the main topics,
  • will also be working on the Simulation Trust Center (STC) to integrate the ReVolt digital twin on this platform.
