Offer Description
Objective of the recruitment
-Research and develop control, planning and perception algorithms for autonomous mobile robots; and monitoring and presentation of results.
Functions
-Review the literature and state-of-the-art methods of algorithms for autonomous mobile robot navigation.
-Develop perception modules that allow the robot to know, represent and understand the robot's immediate environment, through the analysis of sensory data, to avoid obstacles, recognize objects and navigate safely Implement task planning and dynamic trajectory techniques that allow to provide autonomous and intelligent navigation to a mobile robot.
-Integrate traditional control techniques, optimal control and predictive control to promote smooth and robust autonomous driving.
-Identification of the system model (i.e., model the kinematics and dynamics of the robot that we will use in related experiments).
-Group algorithms developed on a real robot and perform validation experiments.
-Communicate the results through possible scientific articles, document the algorithms created, attend project meetings and/or international conferences to present the advances made.
-Prepare and present results at project meetings
