PhD Position in Stochastic Safe Envelope Prediction for Autonomous Robots
1 maand geleden
This PhD project is part of the ERC Consolidator Grant project "ARCS", where 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.
Key Responsibilities- Develop new theory and methods for computing, storing, adapting, and utilizing time-varying stochastic safe envelopes for autonomous robots under various failure conditions.
- Conduct experiments 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.
- Excellent knowledge of nonlinear (optimal) control theory, flight dynamics, reachability analysis, system identification, and stochastic systems theory.
- Excellent programming skills in C++, C, Python, and Matlab.
- Affinity with working with (flight) hardware.
- Experience with working with hardware such as drones.
- Experience with piloting drones.
Doctoral candidates will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts. An initial 1.5-year contract with an official go/no-go progress assessment within 15 months. Followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2.5 years assuming everything goes well and performance requirements are met.
Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from €2770 per month in the first year to €3539 in the fourth year.
As a PhD candidate, you will be enrolled in the TU Delft Graduate School. The TU Delft Graduate School provides an inspiring research environment with an excellent team of supervisors, academic staff, and a mentor.
The Doctoral Education Programme is aimed at developing your transferable, discipline-related, and research skills.
For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service, which provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands.
