Postdoc position in Automatic Control for Autonomous Radiation Mapping with UAVs
The Department of Automatic Control, LTH, Lund University, Sweden, has opened a 2-year postdoc position related to Optimization, Filtering and Control for Autonomous Vehicle within the ELLIIT-project ”Autonomous Radiation Mapping and Isotope Composition Identification by Mobile Gamma Spectroscopy”.
The postdoc will work in a cross-disciplinary project which concerns the estimation of radiation fields from spectrometers mounted on UAVs, and involves two main components:
- The first relates to machine learning and concerns the development of algorithms for Bayesian inference.
These methods should incorporate (i) known geometries in the environment, (ii) known attenuation of radiation with distance, and (iii) modeled dynamics of the UAV and sensor.
- The second part of the project concerns the implementation and experimental validation of these methods in field experiments.
We seek candidates with a strong background of relevance for control, robotics and autonomous systems, in combination with a willingness to collaborate and communicate across disciplines. Good knowledge of filtering and control theory, relevant methods in machine learning, and experience with C++, Python, Julia, or Matlab is highly desirable. Also experience from research in experimental robotics is desirable.
