The Centre for Automation and Robotics Research, Mobile Machine and Vision
Laboratory, Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, UK calls for
applications for the following position:
Applications are invited for a Marie Curie Research Fellow to work with the
Mobile Machines and Vision Laboratory (MMVL) in the area of map building
and surface reconstruction.
Fixed term for 12 Months
P 30,747 increasing to P 34,607 per annum through progression
The MMVL is a research group which is part of the Centre for Automation and
Robotics Research (CARR) at Sheffield Hallam University. The expertise
within the MMVL group includes Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision,
Embedded Systems Engineering, Electronic Design, Interaction design,
Mathematical Modelling, Robotics and Swarm Robotics. MMVL is engaged in a
number of projects funded by the European Commission. Our focus is in the
area of advanced robotics, and we aim to provide significant advances that
will translate into improved mobile robot teams.
The EU funded DHRS-CIM project applies to a swarm of robots in Chemical
incident management. The consortium consists of six partners, each dealing
with particular aspects of the problem. This post will involve the development
of algorithms and application software, mostly in the area of 3D
visualisation for robot mapping.
You will work in the robotics mapping / surface reconstruction group within
the MMVL. The nature of the work will be decided, as much as possible,
based on the successful applicant's skills, experience and interests. You
will become a member of the MMVL lab and will be expected to utilise MMVL
researchers' expertise collectively.
You will have excellent mathematics skills (particularly in geometry); good
programming skills (C/C++); 3D mesh processing; 3D surface reconstruction;
visualisation and rendering (e.g. OpenGL).
Particularly welcome are applications from candidates who have skills and/
or experience in areas such as scene labelling and fragmentation, mobile
robots' navigation, graphical user interfaces or Graphics Processing Units
(e.g. OpenCL).
For further information on the post, please contact Dr Jacques Penders
(general enquiries) and Dr Lyuba Alboul (post particulars) by email at
j.penders@shu.ac.uk<mailto:j.penders@shu.ac.uk> /
l.alboul@shu.ac.uk<mailto:l.alboul@shu.ac.uk> respectively.
