[visionlist] Research Associate position post

[Ntu Fmc]

Drones and V-SLAM: A Research Associate position is available at NTU
(Singapore)

Motion planning of unmanned aerial vehicles with visual-aided simultaneous
localization and mapping (V-SLAM): This project aims to realize motion
planning of unmanned aerial vehicles in priori unknown environments by
vision-based sensing. In this project, V-SLAM algorithms will be developed,
and tested during fast flights with a multi-rotor equipped with a camera,
lidar, and inertial sensors. V-SLAM will provide an instantaneous local map
of surroundings in which local motion planning of multi-rotor will be
conducted.

[Requirements]

-          M.S. in Robotics or closely related areas

-          Background in computer vision, simultaneous localization and
mapping

-          Background in Python, C/C++ programming

-          Excellent English skills (writing and speaking)

[Additional Desired Features]

-          Background in ROS-Gazebo

-          Experience with real world robots, sensors

-          Basic knowledge/experience in motion planning research

-          Basic knowledge/experience in unmanned aerial vehicle research

-          Publication in relevant conferences (e.g., ICRA, IROS, RSS,
CVPR) or journals (e.g., IJRR, TRO, AR)

-          Available for overseas travel for collaboration

[Offer]

-          1-year contract (with a possible extension) with a competitive
salary

-          Research opportunity in one of the world’s leading technical
universities (#4 in Engineering and Technology, QS World University
Rankings 2018)

-          Exciting research environment in Flight Mechanics and Control
Lab – NTU

-          Possibility to visit collaborators in Aarhus University, Denmark
and UNR, USA

[How To Apply]

Application should consist of:

-          CV with a full publication list

-          Contact details of three referees

These documents should be compiled as a single pdf file, named as
"<Name>_<Surname>.pdf", and should be sent to
ntu.fmc.job.applications at gmail.com
