Doctoral Student on Uncertainty Aware Mapping and Control for Aerial Robots in Zürich

4 - 40 Stunden pro Woche

Jobbeschreibung

Job description

This project focuses on the design and implementation of novel uncertainty aware high-resolution mapping methods for aerial manipulation to enhance Human-Machine integration for infrastructure health monitoring. The integration of human supervision in the robotic inspection of the infrastructure is a key missing element, allowing autonomous systems to support human operations. The maps should be suitable for (a) the onboard controller to prevent collisions, (b) the human interface to provide high-level user information.

The PhD project will be hosted at ASL of ETH offering all the equipment necessary to perform the sought investigation, including robots and indoor/outdoor facilities. Besides working on their project at ASL, the successful candidate will participate in network-wide training events like summer schools and retreats. Moreover, the PhD student will conduct two secondments at other network partners.

The successful candidate will receive an employment full time contract and a competitive gross salary in accordance with ETH standards. The expected start date for the position is May-September 2021.
