Luleå University of Technology is seeking a PhD student in in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAI) based at Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering as part of the national research program WASP. Robotics and AI – Luleå University of Technology (ltu.se)
Position description
Robotics and artificial intelligence aim to develop novel robotic systems that are characterized by advanced autonomy for improving the ability of robots to interact with the surrounding environment and humans during the execution of specific tasks.
The vision of RAI is aiming in closing the gap from theory to real life, while the team has a strong expertise in field robotics. As a PhD student you will have the opportunity to contribute within one or more of these focus areas, engaging in both theoretical and experimental research in:
Data-driven and learning based control
– Data-driven adaptive motion planning
– Cognitive reasoning, symbolic knowledge representation
Autonomy for modular and soft robotics
– Reconfigurable morphogenesis, self-assembling robots
– Terrain-adaptive locomotion
– Embedded sensing and soft actuation
Human-robot interaction
– Dynamic task scheduling in shared workspaces
– Shared autonomy and predictive learning
– Human-robot teaming in distributed decision-making
Sensing and perception
– Collaborative perception and localization
– Learning-based cognitive perception
– Semantic reasoning for natural environments
– Multi-sensor fusion
