PhD Student in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

Popis:

Are you ready to take the next step in your academic journey? As a doctoral student with us, you will work closely with leading researchers in a strong, international research environment, with access to advanced laboratory equipment and solid funding opportunities. You will be offered secure employment, high-quality supervision, and room to grow, both as a researcher and as a person. https://www.ltu.se/research/subjects/RoboticsAI?l=en Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAI) at the Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering at Luleå University of Technology is now seeking a PhD student to contribute to our growing activities. The RAI team conducts fundamental research in all aspects of robotics with a specific focus on aerial, space, and bio-inspired robotics. Subject Description Robotics and artificial intelligence aim to develop novel robotic systems characterized by advanced autonomy to improve the ability of robots to interact with the surrounding environment and humans during the execution of specific tasks. Project Description The RAI vision is focused on closing the gap from theory to real life, with the team having strong expertise in field robotics. Specific application areas of focus include robotics for mines, aerial inspection of aging infrastructure, multi-robot search and rescue, multi-sensory fusion, and multi-robot coordination, including multi-robot perception, decentralization, and mission execution. The RAI team has strong European and national participation in multiple research, development, and innovation projects. Duties As a PhD student, you will perform research with substantial theoretical and experimental components that should be published in peer-reviewed major international journals and at major conferences. The position will include supervision of MSc students and assistance in grant applications from research funding agencies and councils, the EU framework program, or industry. The position may also involve teaching assistance, seminars, and presentations. You will work in the field of robotic autonomy, with all activities linked to national, European, and worldwide research and development projects. The research topic is in the area of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. More specifically, the position will involve intensive research activities in the design, experimentation, and theoretical development, with the following research areas providing a template for relevant directions: Autonomous Underwater Robot Navigation in Aquatic Environments - Optimization-based path planning in aquatic environments - State estimation and sensor fusion for localization and mapping - Reactive terrain-aware navigation in dynamic and unstructured environments - Experimental validation on robotic platforms in the field Qualifications To qualify for this position, you must have an MSc degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Agricultural Engineering, or a related field. Excellent scientific skills with excellence in real-life experimentation, as well as very good communication skills, are considered strong advantages. You will represent the group on various occasions, both in Sweden and worldwide, so excellent knowledge of English is a must.
