You will develop and implement algorithms for self-driving bikes, e-scooters and other micro mobility platforms, so that they can be used as test objects in interaction with vehicles.
Project description
This project addresses the challenge of developing test robots capable of realistically imitating humans riding 2-wheelers. This will enable repeatable experiments where the 2-wheeler carries a dummy, for developing and validating active and passive safety systems in cars and trucks as well as studies of drivers' behavior when interacting with these 2-wheelers. Self-driving bikes and E-scooters have in earlier projects been designed and built, but there remains a lot of control design to be done by you. More information on the present state can be found at
https://sites.google.com/view/autobikes/project-overview. We invite applications for a post-doctoral position to participate in the project and, together with students, develop algorithms, perform validation tests, and do tests together with industry partners and their vehicles.
This position offers the possibility to develop classical and learning-based control algorithms, apply the algorithms in real systems, and perform experimental tests together with researchers from industry partners. Furthermore, it gives you experience in supervising and working with graduate and undergraduate students.
The successful candidate will be seated at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology.
Major responsibilities
Develop and implement algorithms to make more advanced control of the 2-wheelers possible.
Collaborate with industry partners to perform tests of their functionality.
Help in supervising students building new types of 2-wheelers or developing functionality for them.
Write interesting papers from the results of all these activities.
Qualifications
PhD in electrical engineering or related field, knowledge of control theory, estimation theory, signal processing, and programming. Also experience in automotive control applications is appreciated.
Ability to initiate new research collaborations is essential.
To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers).
The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.
You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.
Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.
