Third-cycle subject: Computer Science/Electrical Engineering
The school of EECS announces two positions within the project CANOPIES:
1. Human- Multi-robot/agent collaboration: the student will investigate state-of-the-art techniques in the area of formal methods/temporal logic specifications and mixed-initiative control. The aim is to guarantee the safety of humans in the shared human-robot workspace by means of online re-planning and human-in-the-loop control. The student will have the opportunity to develop and implement novel algorithms for motion planning of multi-robot systems and apply them to the CANOPIES grape harvesting project.
Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by Professor Dimos Dimarogonas, Dr. Wenceslao Shaw Cortez, Dr. Luis Guerrero Bonilla at the Division of Decision and Control.
2. Learning harvesting skills from human demonstrations: the student will investigate machine learning techniques to analyze and model human manipulative movements and enabling the agricultural robot to acquire the target skills (grape harvesting and placement). The student will have the opportunity of exploring several topics, including imitation learning, bimanual/whole-body motion modeling, domain adaptation, and meta-learning.
Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by Professor Danica Kragic, Dr. Hang Yin, Dr. Ali Ghadirzadeh at the division of Robotics, Perception and Learning.
