Robotics and Autonomous Systems applied to Deep-sea
[Closed]
Work description
The selected candidate will integrate the Centre of Robotics and Autonomous Systems (CRAS). CRAS team members have more than 30 years of research experience in Robotics and Autonomous Systems, with a wide range of national and international activities. The candidate must also show a strong commitment to research activities like: leading (participant or PI) cutting-edge research in the field of Marine Robotics, addressing the deep-sea area, focusing on Perception, Navigation, Positioning, and Sensors; publishing research findings in reputable scientific journals and presenting at national and international conferences; collaborating with other professors and researchers to contribute to interdisciplinary projects; cooperating with CRAS research team in the network activities and funding effort for the laboratory, submitting proposals at national and international institutions. Complementarily, the candidate will assume administrative duties, contribute to the improvement of the Robotics program, serve on departmental and polytechnic committees as needed and fulfil other administrative responsibilities as assigned. Additionally, the candidate is expected to participate in outreach activities with the main emphasis on engagement with industry partners, governmental agencies, and the community to foster collaborations and apply robotic solutions to real-world challenges in the challenging and rewarding context of field robotics, especially those devoted to marine field robotics in the specific context of deep-sea technologies. The candidate must also participate with the public to promote awareness and understanding of Robotics and Autonomous Systems.
