hela Sverige Luleå University of Technology is in strong growth with world-leading competence in several research areas. We shape the future through innovative education and ground-breaking research results, and based on the Arctic region, we create global social benefit. Our scientific and artistic research and education are conducted in close collaboration with international, national and regional companies, public actors and leading universities. Luleå University of Technology has a total turnover of nearly SEK 2,1 billion per year. We currently have 1,900 employees and 18,700 students.
In the coming years, multi-billion investments will be made in large projects in Northern Sweden to create a fossil-free society both nationally and globally. Luleå University of Technology is involved in several of these cutting-edge research projects and in the societal transformation that they entail. We offer a broad range of courses and study programmes to match the skills in demand. We hope that you will help us to build the sustainable companies and societies of the future.We are looking for a Postdoc in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAI) (
https://www.fieldrobotics.eu/) based at Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering as part of the national research program WASP. Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) is Sweden's largest individual research program ever, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and faculty recruitment. The program addresses research on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems acting in collaboration with humans, adapting to their environment through sensors, information and knowledge, and forming intelligent systems-of-systems. The vision of WASP is excellent research and competence in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and software for the benefit of Swedish society and industry. Read more:
https://wasp-sweden.org/You will be part of the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence research group. More information Robotics and AI - Luleå University of Technology (
https://www.ltu.se/robotics). You will have the opportunity to collaborate with the strong multi-disciplinary and international professional network between researchers and industry associated with the WASP.
Subject description
Robotics and artificial intelligence aim to develop novel robotic systems that are characterised by advanced autonomy for improving the ability of robots to interact with the surrounding environment and humans during the execution of specific tasks.
Project description
The vision of RAI is aiming in closing the gap from theory to real life, while the team has a strong expertise in field robotics. Characteristic research topics for this Postdoc position will focus on the following key areas, where a proof of previous work with experimentally verified results is a necessary:
- Autonomy with collaborative intelligence
- Distributed task and motion planning
- Predictive collaboration with heterogeneous teaming
- Multi-agent navigation in constrained environments
- Data-driven and learning based control
- Meta-learning for emergent behavior in multi-agent systems
- Learning-based cognitive awareness, contextual and neuro-symbolic reasoning
- Resilient autonomy for extreme environments
Duties
The duties of a Postdoc primarily comprise research. You will perform research with substantial experimental components that should be published in peer-reviewed international journals and at major conferences. The position will include supervision of PhD and MSc students, teaching and supporting in acquiring funds for future research projects from research funding agencies/councils, EU framework program or industry.
Qualifications
In order to be eligible for employment as post doctor you must have a PhD or a foreign degree equivalent to a PhD in Automatic control or related subject. A doctoral degree awarded no more than three years before the application deadline provides a useful qualification. Candidates with an earlier doctoral degree may be considered under special circumstances, such as statutory leave. The research tasks require a solid mathematical background with proven advanced experimental capabilities and excellent programming skills (e.g. C++, ROS, Matlab, Python etc.). You should have a strong vision to participate in developing research findings proposals. You will need to represent the group, both in Sweden and abroad and hence have excellent skills in English. Experience in Field Robotics and real word experimentation will be highly considered as a merit.
