Give Life to Will-e: AI-Powered Human Robotic Interaction Researcher

3 weeks ago


Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Semcon Full time

About the Project:

Advanced human robotic interaction has long been a topic of science fiction and academic research. However, with the advancement of AI technologies, we are now bridging the gap between science fiction and reality. In this project, students will explore how genetic algorithms can be used to find pleasant interaction patterns between humans and robots.

Research Focus:

The research will focus on using genetic algorithms to find movement and expression patterns that attract human attention. Will-e, a small electric vehicle equipped with lidar, camera, and radar, will be the vehicle used for this research. ROS2 will be used to control Will-e, allowing students to move around, flash headlights, control the smiling mouth, and use the eyes for interacting with people.

Company Background:

Semcon is a global company operating in over 30 locations across various markets. Our goal is to add value to our users through technology, prioritizing people over technology. We work closely with students from various educations to further their skills, experience, and knowledge.
