The project include the three main tasks: (1) real-time mapping of the scenario with the quantification of the contamination levels, (2) autonomous and cooperative navigating a fleet of autonomous drones, covering this area in an optimal way, in closed loop with the real-time construction of the contamination map, while maintaining exposure of the drones to radiation at a safe level, and (3) assuring an effective and resilient wireless data communication among the drones and the ground station. The selected candidate shall have expertise, at least, for one of these tasks and he/she will work with the support of 3 MSc grantees, each one from a different research lab, with expertise for the different tasks. The research work will be carried out in the context of a fully funded 3-year R&D project, in collaboration with different research labs with expertise in robotics, nuclear physics, and communications. High-quality scientific publications and participation on scientific conferences are expected during the lifetime of the project. Requirements: the candidates are expected to hold a Doctoral degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Technological Physics Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering. - - - - - Rodrigo Ventura Institute for Systems and Robotics Instituto Superior Técnico Lisbon, Portugal http://users.isr.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/~yoda From MSS isep.ipp.pt Tue Feb 12 09:20:19 2019 From: MSS isep.ipp.pt (Manuel Silva) Date: Mon Feb 18 13:29:58 2019 Subject: [socios-spr] =?iso-8859-1?q?Convite_do_IEMA_=28Brasil=29_para_evento_Internac?= =?iso-8859-1?q?ional_de_Rob=F3tica?= Message-ID: Saltou-se o conteúdo do tipo multipart/alternative -------------- próxima parte ---------- Um anexo que não estava em formato texto não está incluído...
