## About the Role

* Master's student in robotics, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, control engineering, or a related field
 * Background in control systems, robotics, or dynamic systems
 * Programming experience in Python (experience with optimization or machine learning frameworks is beneficial)
 * Interest in reinforcement learning, model predictive control, and motion simulation
 * Independent and structured working style

## Description

* Familiarize yourself with the motion simulator setup, including mechanical design, system dynamics, and control architecture
 * Analyze the existing MPC-based motion cueing algorithm and its integrated vestibular perception model
 * Develop and implement a reinforcement learning approach to improve the MPC-based motion cueing algorithm
 * Evaluate the performance of the proposed method in simulation
 * Optional: Deploy and test the developed algorithm on the real motion simulator
