[robocup-worldwide] PhD Position at TU München

[Reinhard Lafrenz]

For an EU project in the area of Robot Control, Robot Cognitive System Architectures and System Integration
we are offering a position in computer science. We are now accepting applications for a 3‐year PhD Scholarship
in the fields of Robot Control, Robot Cognitive System Architectures and System Integration at the Department
of Informatics at TU Munich, Germany.

Application deadline: April 15th 2009, the position will begin as soon as possible.

The project ECCEROBOT (http://wwwknoll.in.tum.de/Main/ResearchEccerobot) is an EU‐funded project to improve
the design of a compliant robot system based on the original CRONOS robot
(http://cswww.essex.ac.uk/staff/owen/machine/cronos.html). The goal is to investigate methods for its control,
its sensor data processing and the autonomous development of its cognitive skills.

Applicants should have an MSc degree in Computer Science or Electronic Engineering (or equivalent, from a
well‐known University). The scholarship will be generously supplemented with overseas travel grants and
other additional allowances. The successful candidate should have experience in one or more of the following areas:
(i) control systems design,
(ii) sensor signal processing including computer vision and sensor data fusion,
(iii) high‐level AI techniques.

TU München enjoys an excellent international reputation as an academic leader and has been consistently ranked
as one of the three best universities in Germany.

Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, an academic transcript and two referees.
A statement of the broad area of your research interest should also be included.
For any enquiries or further information, send an E‐mail to:
Dr. Gerhard Schrott (schrott at in.tum.de) or Amy Beth Buecherl (buecherl at in.tum.de)
or visit our web site at http://wwwknoll.in.tum.de.
