Postdoc opening on self-driving 2-wheelers
Start data: negotiable
Application deadline: very soon….
This project addresses the challenge of developing test robots capable of realistically imitating humans riding 2-wheelers. This will enable repeatable experiments where the 2-wheeler carries a dummy, for developing and validating active and passive safety systems in cars and trucks as well as studies of drivers' behavior when interacting with these 2-wheelers. Self-driving bikes and E-scooters have in earlier projects been designed and built, but there remains a lot of control design to be done by you. More information on the present state can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/autobikes/project-overview.
This position offers the possibility to develop classical and learning-based control algorithms, apply the algorithms in real systems, and perform experimental tests together with researchers from industry partners. Furthermore, it gives you experience in supervising and working with graduate and undergraduate students.
We invite applications for a post-doctoral position to participate in the project and, together with students, develop algorithms, perform validation tests, and do tests together with industry partners and their vehicles.
The position as a postdoc researcher is a full-time temporary employment, limited to a maximum of two (2) years. An attractive and competitive monthly salary is paid. The successful candidate will be seated at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology.
Major responsibilities:
Develop and implement algorithms to make more advanced control of the 2-wheelers possible.
Collaborate with industry partners to perform tests of their functionality.
Help in supervising students building new types of 2-wheelers or developing functionality for them.
Write interesting papers from the results of all these activities.
Qualifications:
A PhD (or close to completion) in control theory or neighbouring relevant field with focus qualifies you for this position. Experience of working with electronic systems, mechatronic systems is preferred. Also experience in automotive control applications is appreciated.
Ability to initiate new research collaborations is essential. Good communication skills in oral and written English are required.
Write an email if you are interested.
