PhD Position Artificial Physical Awareness Controller Synthesis-
**_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 has accurate and up-to-date knowledge of the safe envelope of the robot under its control. In this PhD project, a new APA-enabled controller will be developed that can effectively and efficiently exploit information contained in computed time-varying stochastic safe envelopes of autonomous robots after sustaining failures. The APA controller should be able to balance safety and performance based on mission requirements in nominal and off-nominal conditions. The new controller will be implemented on research drones, with which flight experiments will be conducted under nominal and failure scenarios to prove the APA principle.
**Requirements**:
**Need-to-haves**
Excellent knowledge of the following fields:
- Nonlinear (Optimal) Control Theory, Flight Dynamics, Reachability Analysis, System Identification, Stochastic Systems Theory.
- 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.
