PhD Position in Bio-Inspired Safe Envelope Sensing and Upset Recovery
4 weken geleden
This PhD project is part of the ERC Consolidator Grant project "ARCS", which aims to develop a new paradigm in control theory: Artificial Physical Awareness (APA). APA requires the onboard autopilot to quickly detect upsets and determine optimal recovery trajectories to prevent loss-of-control. In this project, flying insects will be studied in collaboration with researchers from the University of Marseille to identify and model their sensorimotor reflexes. Experiments will also be conducted to discover 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, providing a bio-inspired pathway to developing the APA autopilot.
RequirementsEssential Skills:
- Excellent knowledge of bio-inspired robotics, biophysics, control theory, flight dynamics, and system identification
- Excellent programming skills in C++, C, Python, and Matlab
- Experience working with insects in laboratory conditions
Desirable Skills:
- Experience working with hardware such as drones
- Experience piloting drones
