Philip Wickberg
Educational background
Philip Wickberg is an industrial Ph.D. student at Mälardalen University, Sweden. In 2004 he graduated as M.Sc. in Electronics, with a Master thesis in Stereo Vision and as B.Sc. in Electronics in 2002 with a Bachelor thesis in Control.
Work Experience
After graduation, he got employed by HiQ as an IT consultant, and in 2011 by Volvo Construction Equipment as a test engineer. He is now working in projects at Volvo CE’s department for Intelligent Machines. In November 2021 Philip started his Ph.D. studies within the area of fleet management of autonomous machines.
Research Topic
Fleet management of autonomous machines
Research Abstract
Based on the research background, the research started by identifying and proposing requirements for construction sites, suggesting the utilization of different map layers in paper A. Paper B then proposed a way of fusing the perceived data to a global dynamic occupancy map, enabling further control and navigation of the autonomous machines.
In the context of software testing/validation, the forthcoming research will prioritize the validation of the dynamic map and its connected functionalities in an autonomous machine setup. Special attention will be given to factors such as the Operational Design Domain (ODD) and safety considerations.
