PhD Position Bio-inspired Safe Envelope Sensing and Upset Recovery-
**_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 requires that the onboard autopilot can very quickly detect upsets and determine optimal recovery trajectories to prevent loss-of-control. In this PhD project, flying insects will be studied in collaboration with researchers from the University of Marseille with the goal of identifying and modelling their sensorimotor reflexes. In addition, experiments will be conducted with the aim of discovering whether flying insects employ adaptive internal models to compensate for injuries allowing for quick detection of, and recovery from loss-of-control. The principles behind these reflexes and adaptive internal models will be harnessed in a novel bio-inspired safe envelope detection and recovery methodology for autonomous robots, thereby providing a bio-inspired pathway to developing the APA autopilot.
**Requirements**:
**Need-to-haves**
Excellent knowledge of the following fields:
- Bio-inspired robotics, Biophysics, Control Theory, Flight Dynamics, System Identification
**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.
