[robocup-worldwide] PhD and Post Doc Position in vision-based navigation available at Graz University of Technology

[Gerald Steinbauer]

The Institute for Software Technology of Graz University of Technology,
Graz, Austria is looking for a PhD student and a post-doc research in
the area of vision-based navigation for ground vehicles. In the project
"infrastructure-less navigation for ground vehicles" algorithm for the
navigation (primarily mapping and localization) of ground vehicles in
off-road environments using only passive sensors (primarily vision and
IMUs) and no infrastructure such as GPS will be developed. Thus, the
project is looking for persons with a strong background and interest in
development of performative vision-based large-scale mapping and
localization methods. the project will be carried out in a strong
consortium including major partners from research and industry in the
area of automotive engineering.

Required qualifications PhD position:

or related area,
- strong background in robotics, computer vision, state estimation
- strong programming skills in C/C++, Matlab, ROS, Python, and
- proficient oral and written English skills

Required qualifications Post position:
- relevant PhD in the area of computer vision, navigation, robotics, or
related area,
- strong publication record in these areas,
