This application is based on a proof of concept (PoC) done in a context of PhD work which uses knowledge graphs and symbolic reasoning to model map data. As an integral part of the Autonomous driving system, High Definition (HD) maps are a key challenge for the automotive industry. This need for HD maps forces the car manufacturers and map providers to develop a standardized binary database format, called Navigation Data Standard (NDS), which allows the exchange of navigation data between different systems.We are trying in BMW to bring this standardization effort to the knowledge layer by developing a proof of concept (PoC) which uses knowledge graphs and symbolic reasoning to model and provide map data. The scope of this work is to bring this PoC closer to real car environment by transforming it from a desktop Java application to a  ROS application consuming recorded trace data in addition to the real NDS maps and visualizing the results in RVIZ.  What awaits you?Extend the existing Python application to extract map information from NDS DBROS node: read the needed data from a recorded traceROS node: construct the knowledge graph representing the map data modelCreate an RVIS plugin to visualize the processed map knowledge What you should bring along?Study of computer science, physics, mechanical engineering or a comparable course of studiesGood software development skills in C++ and PythonBasic knowledge of relational databases (SQL Lite)Sound knowledge in ROS is beneficial Good English and communication skills You are enthused by new technologies and an innovative environment? Apply now! Earliest starting date: 01/12/2020Duration: 6 months.Working hours: fulltimeContact:BMW Group Recruiting Team+49 89 382-17001 BMW GroupRecruitingMunichAPPLY NOWAre you looking for an exciting challenge?
