Luleå, Norrbotten, Sweden Luleå tekniska universitet Full time

Luleå University of Technology is Sweden's leading university in the areas of Field Robotics with unique labs for field robotics, deep learning, and human-computer interaction. Furthermore, Luleå University of Technology is Sweden's leading university in industrial collaboration.

The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAI) subject at the department of Computer Science and Electrical and Space Engineering at Luleå University of Technology, is now looking for excellent researchers contributing to our growing activities. The RAI team is conducting fundamental research in all the aspects of robotics with a specific focus on Aerial, Ground, and Space robotics.

The vision of RAI is aiming in closing the gap from theory to real life, while the team has a strong expertise in field robotics. Specific application areas of focus are robotics for mines, construction sites, aerial inspection of aging infrastructure, multi-robotic search and rescue, multi-sensorial fusion, and multi-robot coordination, including multi-robot perception, decentralization, and mission execution.

The RAI team has a strong European participation in multiple R&D&I projects, while RAI was also participating in the DARPA SUB-T challenge with the CoSTAR Team lead by NASA/JPL.

The RAI group is part of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP). WASP is Sweden's largest individual research program ever, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education, and faculty recruitment. The program addresses research on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems acting in collaboration with humans, adapting to their environment through sensors, information, and knowledge, and forming intelligent systems-of-systems. The vision of WASP is excellent research and competence in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and software for the benefit of Swedish industry.

To Strengthen Our Team On Robotics And AI, We Recruit Excellent Researchers Working In One Or More Of The Following Areas Of Autonomous Systems (Robotics) In The Technical Area Of Human-Robot Interaction/Co-Existence In Complex And Unstructured Environments:
