Description of the research topic:
Our department is world leading in collective aerial robotics research with a professional electronic and mechanical lab, decades of knowledge in collective phenomena and a large fleet of self-organizing aerial robots. We open a doctoral position for investigating the advantages of collective problem solving in various drone applications. The research focuses on visual information processing both on the individual and group level. The applicant will develop multi-robot control algorithms based on distributed visual information processing to solve real-world problems, such as self-organized drone traffic, multi-drone search and surveillance or distributed adaptive aerial measurements with a heterogeneous fleet.
Required language skills: English Further requirements: MSc in physics/informatics/engineering/mathematics, abstract thinking, creative problem solving, enthusiasm for robotics / drones, linux knowledge, programming skills (preferred: C/C++, Python)
