PhD Position Stochastic Safe Envelope Prediction of Damaged Drones-
**_In this ERC Consolidator Grant project a new paradigm called Artificial Physical Awareness will be developed that aims to improve the efficiency and safety of autonomous robots after system failures._**
Job description
This PhD project is conducted within the ERC Consolidator Grant project "ARCS" in which you will collaborate with an international team of researchers to develop a new paradigm in control theory: Artificial Physical Awareness (APA). APA aims to provide robots with accurate knowledge on their physical capabilities, which are reduced in currently unknown ways after faults and failures. APA requires accurate and up-to-date knowledge on the safe envelope, which is the region of the state space inside which safe operations can be guaranteed. In this PhD project, new theory and methods will be developed for computing, storing, adapting, and utilizing time-varying stochastic safe envelopes for autonomous robots under various failure conditions. In particular, experiments will be conducted with damaged drones in various flight labs, from which data stochastic safe sets will be computed and integrated with real-time adaptive flight envelope protection controllers.
**Requirements**:
Need-to-haves:
- Excellent knowledge of the following fields:
- Nonlinear (Optimal) control theory, Flight dynamics, Reachability analysis, System identification, Stochastic Systems Theory.
- programming skills in the following languages: C++, C, Python, Matlab
- Affinity with working with (flight) hardware
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience with working with hardware such as drones
- Experience with piloting drones
Conditions of employment
From 1 September next, a salary increase of 3.7% applies due to a Collective Agreement amendment, followed by an additional 1% increase on 1 January 2025. In addition, most employees employed on 1 September 2024 will receive a one-off payment of €300 gross based on full-time employment.
The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
