Luleå University of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAI)(https://www.fieldrobotics.eu/) based at the Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering.
Project description and working 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. Characteristic research topics for this Postdoctoral researcher position will focus on the following key areas, where proof of previous work with experimentally verified results is necessary:
– Human-robot interaction
– Predictive learning and task scheduling in shared workspaces
– Autonomy for modular robots towards reconfigurable morphogenesis
– Perception-degraded resilience sensing, multisensory fusion
– Collaborative perception and localization for multi-robot teams
– LLMs and VLMs for enhancing high-level planning and sense awareness
– Cognitive perception, semantic reasoning and scene maps creation
– Floating based manipulation
The duties of a Postdoc primarily comprise research. You will perform research with substantial experimental components that should be published in peer-reviewed international journals and at major conferences. The position will include supervision of PhD and MSc students, teaching and supporting in acquiring funds for future research projects from research funding agencies/councils, EU framework program or industry.
This postdoctoral position is funded by Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP).
Luleå University of Technology is in strong growth with world-leading competence in several research areas through innovative education and ground-breaking research results, based on the Arctic region.
