Background
The researcher is to be based at Örebro University's Center for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS, http://www.oru.se/aass), which carries out multi-disciplinary research at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, computer science, and measurement technology. Our research our research on the development of perception and planning systems for mobile robots is recognized world-wide. Much of our research work stems from close partnerships with world-leading corporations such as Volvo, Epiroc, Scania, Husqvarna and Bosch, as well as with the public sector.

Our aim with this new recruitment is to assist in the development of methods for automated planning, coordination and control for multi-robot systems, in the context of the KKS-funded Semantic Robots research profile. The position provides the opportunity to work on an exciting and practically relevant research topic, namely, integrated motion planning, coordination and control for fleets of autonomous robots. The focus of the position will be on supervisory control schemes that guarantee safety and liveness. Robotic platforms provided for carrying out the research include several autonomous forklifts, several Husqvarna HRPs, and other research platforms.

Duties and responsibilities
Solid theoretical background in the following topics is required: multi-robot planning and coordination, robot control, and online scheduling. The successful candidate is expected to have a good ability to analyse the formal properties of these algorithms, and to validate them via formal proofs.
