Are you passionate about real-world robotics? Would you like to make autonomous aerial robots that save humans at sea? Then this upcoming position is for you. Join us as a PhD student at DTU Electro and work among our dedicated researchers. Th project is funded by Orients Fond and Danish Maritime Fond.
Responsibilities and qualifications
At DTU Electro we have several activities regarding aerial robotic operations and specifically with search and rescue. With a lead-in by a previous internal activity, the soon-to-start OSAR project will develop a fully autonomous robotic system that takes off from a vessel and finds a person that has fallen in the water, taking into account weather conditions.
Your responsibilities are as follows:
- Conduct cutting-edge research in the field of aerial drone design and control systems for very large UASs.
- Research in the modeling of man overboard position and drift estimation.
- Develop and implement techniques for autonomous navigation with or without GNSS.
- Develop machine learning solutions for detection of targets as well as for robot guidance.
- Design and execute experiments to evaluate the performance and robustness of the developed drone systems in realistic scenarios, and propose improvements based on the obtained results.
- Stay updated with the latest advancements in drone technology, robotics, and control systems to incorporate relevant methodologies and techniques into the research project.
- Publish research findings in top-tier conferences and journals
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
Additionally, it will be an advantage to your application to have experience with some of the following:
- Experience with mechatronics design, and especially aerial robotics.
- Experience with state estimation and control in real systems with ROS, and especially using fight controllers (pixhawk) for aerial robots.
- Experience with open-source tools for computer vision and machine learning.
Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see DTU's rules for the PhD education
