Postdoctoral Researcher in Communication-Aware Autonomous Robotic Systems

About the Role

Join UM6P's College of Computing (COLCOM) as a Postdoctoral Researcher contributing to cutting-edge research in communication-aware robotics. You will focus on autonomous and networked robotic systems, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), exploring the joint design of communication, sensing, control, and decision-making mechanisms for efficient operations in dynamic environments.

Main Responsibilities

• Conduct research on communication-aware autonomous robotic systems and UAVs
• Develop algorithms for robot navigation, trajectory planning, and multi-robot coordination
• Design and implement communication-aware control and network optimization solutions
• Perform experimental validation of robotic systems and autonomous platforms
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary and international research teams
• Publish research findings in peer-reviewed international journals and conferences

Key Requirements

• Ph.D. in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Engineering, Control Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or related discipline
• Expertise in autonomous systems, networked robotics, wireless communications, UAVs, or trajectory planning
• Strong understanding of interactions between communication, sensing, control, and decision-making in robotic systems
• Proficiency in Python, C/C++, MATLAB/Simulink, ROS/ROS 2, Gazebo, or AirSim
• Experience with artificial intelligence, machine learning, or optimization techniques
• Fluent English (spoken and written); French is an asset
