The Chroma group at Inria Grenoble, France ( 
https://team.inria.fr/chroma/ <https://team.inria.fr/chroma/> ) has a 
funded PhD position in automous vehicle navigation.

------Context------
The funding project involves Inria (https://www.inria.fr/en/) and the 
Valeo Company (http://www.valeo.com/en/the-group/ 
<http://www.valeo.com/en/the-group/>). Its goal is to propose a novel 
approach for solving the problem of navigation of fully autonomous 
vehicles in urban environments.

The Chroma group and the PhD student involved in this project will focus 
on integrating models of human drivers (pedestrian and/or drivers), 
proxemics (human management of space) and traffic rules to integrate an 
autonomous vehicle in a flow of cars.

-----Environment-----
The overall objective of Chroma team is to address fundamental and open 
issues that lie at the intersection of the emerging research fields 
called “Human Centered Robotics » and “Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) ». Our 
goal is to design algorithms and develop models allowing mobile robots 
to navigate and operate in dynamic and human-populated environments. 
Chroma is involved in all decision aspects pertaining to (multi)robot 
navigation tasks, including perception and motion-planning. Our approach 
for addressing this challenge is to bring together probabilistic 
methods, planning techniques and multi-agent decision models. This is 
done in cooperation with other disciplines such as psycho-sociologists 
for the purpose of taking into account human models. Two main research 
themes of robotic navigation are addressed : i) Perception and situation 
awareness in human-populated environment, by focusing on bayesian 
perception and sensor fusion ii) Scaling-up single and multi-robot 
motion-planning, by combining uncertainty modeling, decentralized 
(swarm) models and multi-agent sequential decision making. The Chroma 
team is also concerned with applications and transfer of the scientific 
results. We work with industrial and start-up partners. Our main 
application domains concern autonomous vehicle driving (with Renault and 
Toyota), aerial robots for surveillance tasks and services robotics.


-----How to apply-----
The ideal candidate has a strong background in planning, control and 
robotics. The candidate must be a proficient user of C/C++ and ROS and 
any relevant computer vision library (e.g., ViSP, OpenCV, PCL). 
Scientific curiosity, large autonomy and ability to work independently 
are also expected.
Interested candidates must send to Anne Spalanzani ( 
anne.spalanzani  inria.fr <mailto:anne.spalanzani  inria.fr> ) the 
following material:
- a motivation letter with any relevant information for proving a good 
match with the description of the activities and expected profile of the 
candidates
- a detailed CV
- name of at least two referees
- results in M1 and M2

Keywords : Robotics, Autonomous vehicle, planning, risk analysis, 
human-robot interaction
