PhD Position for Safe Human-Robot Interaction20.10.2020, Wissenschaftliches Personal The Research Group Cyber-Physical Systems of Prof. Matthias Althoff at the Technical University of Munich offers a PhD position for Safe Human-Robot Interaction. The offered position has a strong focus on motion planning of robots and formal verification. The Technical University of Munich is one of the top research universities in Europe. The university fosters a strong entrepreneurial spirit and international culture that places it at the forefront of research in a diversity of disciplines. Expected Starting Date: 01 February-01 April 2021
Closing Date for Applicants: 15 December 2020
Duration: 3-4 years (depending on preference of applicant).
Project and Job Description
The focus of this position is on developing new methods for safe human-robot interaction. A special focus will be on developing planning algorithms that reliably find safe solutions when interacting with robots. By combining motion planning techniques with formal verification, the solution space will be reduced so that safe plans can be found more reliably under strong real time constraints. The candidate should demonstrate the developed algorithms on a real robot. One possible application is in construction robotics, where we collaborate with several industrial partners.
