Postdoc – Swarm Robotics for Underwater Anomaly Detection

Software Engineering & Computing systems; Denmark; Sur place; DKK 420 000 - 540 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Software Engineering & Computing systems at Aarhus University invites applications for a postdoc position focused on distributed coordination in robot swarms for underwater anomaly detection. The role centers on planning, decision-making, and collaboration within the ADVISOR project with international partners.

The successful candidate will work in a multidisciplinary team, contribute to co-simulation or digital-twin methods, and engage with industry partner EIVA to advance autonomous missions

Qualifications

• PhD in CS/CE/robotics or related field.
• Experience with multi-agent systems and swarm robotics.
• Experience with multi-robot planning and autonomous decision-making.
• Experience with robot simulation or digital twins is an advantage.
• Experience with underwater or marine robotics is an advantage.
• Track record of publications in relevant conferences/journals.
• Strong programming skills.
• Ability to work independently and in an international team.
• Excellent written and spoken English.

Responsabilités

• Develop and implement cooperative mission planning for underwater infrastructure surveying and anomaly detection, including self-adaptation and runtime re-planning.
• Design distributed coordination and decision-making mechanisms that allow swarms to act on local information under limited communication.
• Validate coordination approaches through autonomous multi-robot surveying of offshore infrastructure in a laboratory environment.
• Potentially apply co-simulation and digital-twin frameworks to develop and evaluate multi-robot collaboration.
• Collaborate with the Danish industrial partner EIVA and the wider international ADVISOR consortium.
