Post-doctoral Researcher: Developing game-theoretic planning algorithms for multi-robot systems in adversarial, contested environments.
The project is sponsored by Tactical Behaviors for Autonomous Maneuver Collaborative Research Program (TBAM-CRP), DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory, starting Oct 1st.
It is to develop fundamental game-theoretic planning algorithms for a multi-robot/human-robot team in a dynamic, uncertain environment. The research topic will investigate the asymmetric information between multiple players and develop fundamental solution concepts that can be used for planning, decision-making, and multi-agent collaboration despite adversarial attacks on multi-agent systems.
The project will help to synthesize attack-resilient multi-agent systems with coordinated control and perception, with applications to mission-critical cyber-physical systems.
Qualifications
-- A Ph.D. (completed or nearing completion) in Control Theory, Robotics, Computer Science, Mathematics/Statistics, or a closely related subject.
Duties:
The Postdoc will closely work with the PI and her research group, and the industrial collaborators to ensure deliverables to this project. The post-doc is expected to
- Submitting high-quality conference and journal papers based on the research findings.
- Develop planning algorithms and software prototyping, Implementation in robotic systems, if applicable.
- Present the research findings at conferences;
- Participating in PI meetings for this sponsored research project.
