The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAI) (www.ltu.se/robotics) subject at the Department of Computer Science and Electrical and Space Engineering at Luleå University of Technology, Sweden is now looking for enthusiastic and talented Two PhD students and Two Post Docs contributing to our fast growing activities.
RAI is conducting fundamental research in all the aspects of robotics with a specific focus on aerial and space applications. The vision of RAI is aiming in closing the gap between theory and real life, an approach where fundamental solid theoretical contributions are being evolved through laboratory and field experimentations for enabling their adoption from our industry and society.
The RAI subject has a strong expertise in field robotics. Specific application areas of focus are robotics for mines, robots for planetary exploration, autonomous cooperative satellites, aerial inspection of ageing infrastructure, multi-robotic search and rescue, multi sensorial fusion, local and global mission planners, including multirobot perception, mapping and exploration.
The RAI team has a very strong European participation in multiple R&D&I projects, while RAI is also participating in the DARPA SUB-T challenge with the CoSTAR Team lead by NASA/JPL (https://costar.jpl.nasa.gov/).
Two Post-Docs
The Two Post Docs will be working in the field of aerial and space robotics and their activities will be linked with European R&D Projects and the SubT challenge, in the general field of multi-vehicle orchestration/mission planning (aerial and space) collaborative perception and exploration of unknown and non-structured areas (Tunnels, Urban and Caves), For more information please visit the current RAI research projects: https://www.ltu.se/research/subjects/RoboticsAI/Forskning?l=en
and also please have a look in the specific position descriptions.
Two PhDs
The PhD candidates will be working in the fields of:
a) Autonomous aerial vehicles with an emphasis on Automatic Control for robust remote and semi-autonomous operation of UAVs in remote areas e.g. wind turbines, under varying communication delays, computational latencies, connectivity to 5G. The position will also perform research in the development of the next generation Edge control interfaces for supporting distributed autonomy for aerial vehicles.
b) Augmented reality for enhancing the semi-autonomous remote operation of UAVs in remote areas e.g. wind turbines. including research in the field of edge based environmental perception and reasoning, edge networks for real time and bounded time delays in distributed control loops, multi-robot edge based orchestrators, edge optimisation and seamless 5G and edge interfaces for augmented reality concepts in semi-autonomous missions.
