Master thesis – "Graph Neural Networks in AGV System Design"
6 months ago
Background
An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system is a fleet of mobile robots that automatically transport goods in a network of fixed virtual roads, designed according to the specification of the warehouse. This network must have the capacity to handle the intended traffic load without traffic jams, which is verified by running simulations. However, such simulations are time consuming, and since the design process is an iterative one, faster feedback directly translates to decreased cost. In this master thesis project, you will research how Machine Learning can be used to speed up the design process by predicting the consequences of different design choices.
Goal of the thesis
Your job will be to continue the work of a previous master thesis (carried out in 2023) which used Graph Neural Networks to predict the traffic score of an intersection. In that case, the training data consisted of 50 variants of the same intersection, and the next step is to investigate how well the model can generalize when applied to larger and more diverse data sets. There might also be opportunities to look into generative models, such as Generative Adversarial Networks.
Method
The task is a form of supervised learning, and you will evaluate a range of different models on several synthetic data sets. Relevant metrics such as precision and recall should be calculated, and you will explore how model and hyper-paramater choices affects the performance on unseen data.
Roughly, the work will be carried out as follows:
Implement and train relevant models on existing data set using python libraries such as numpy, pandas, matplotlib, and pytorch.
Compare the results from the different models and give recommendation on model selection.
Generate new datasets. You will be responsible to select suitable scenarios in dialogue with domain experts at Kollmorgen, and you will use various existing python, scripts to generate synthetic data, including labeling. In other words, you will not have to annotate any data manually in this project.
Repeat training and analysis on new dataset, with a focus on how well the models generalize to unseen scenarios.
About you
This thesis project requires a solid background in mathematics, statistics, and programming, and we are therefore primarily looking for master students from engineering programs, such as Computer Science, Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics and similar. You should also have taken courses in Statistics, Machine Learning, and Neural Networks.
