Phd in Collaborative Exploration for Intelligent Mobile Robots
4 dagen geleden
In this project, we consider a system of robotic agents that are wirelessly networked for exploring an unknown environment, with each agent equipped with multi-modal sensors and smart-edge computing onboard. We aim to develop principled methodologies and practical solutions for multi-agent semantic scene understanding towards reaching collaborative intelligence in real-world search and rescue tasks. Following the spirit of open science, all research deliverables, including papers, datasets, and code, will be open-sourced.
The PhD will be embedded in the double PhD programme between the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. You will have the unique opportunity to be jointly supervised by experts at both universities, spend time at each campus and upon successful completion of the programme, graduate from both universities with a PhD.
