hela Sverige Örebro University and the School of Science and Technology are looking for a doctoral student for the doctoral programme in computer science, concluding with a doctoral degree.
Start date: spring 2021.
The offered position is part of the new European research and innovation project DARKO, to be coordinated by Örebro University through 2021-2024.
Project description
The topic for this position is aligned with contemporary research topics in mapping and localisation for autonomous mobile robots. Specifically, the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to research on connecting existing algorithms for mapping with object detection and other kinds of semantic segmentation. Our aim is that the research results will provide mutual benefits: facilitating better object detection, and also more robust and rich maps and localisation methods. The topic also includes combining different sources of prior information for autonomous navigation.
Research in this project will be performed in close interaction with other doctoral students and senior researchers at Örebro University, and will also involve substantial collaboration with our international partners.
The successful candidate is autonomous, shows strong and independent problem solving and critical analytical abilities. Furthermore, the candidate has the ability to co-operate and possesses personal maturity. Fluent spoken and written command of English is essential, while knowledge of Swedish is not necessary. Excellent programming skills are also required, as are a keen interest in mathematics, computer science, and robotics. Prior knowledge in modern machine learning techniques and probabilistic methods is beneficial. Experience with autonomous robots and relevant software frameworks are other valuable merits.
