Technology Innovation Institute (TII) is a publicly funded research
institute, based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is home to a
diverse community of leading scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and
researchers from across the globe, transforming problems and roadblocks
into pioneering research and technology prototypes that help move society
ahead. At TII, we help society to overcome its biggest hurdles through a
rigorous approach to scientific discovery and inquiry, using
state-of-the-art facilities and collaboration with leading international
institutions. Our rigorous discovery and inquiry-based approach helps to
forge new and disruptive breakthroughs in advanced materials, autonomous
robotics, cryptography, digital security, directed energy, quantum
computing and secure systems.
***Autonomous Robotics Research Centre***
Unmanned vehicles in space, in the air, on land, on sea, and underwater
offer exciting opportunities to dramatically improve safety, environmental
protection and operational effectiveness – at lower cost – in both
industrial and mission-critical settings.
Our research activities focus on:
• Swarm architectures for heterogeneous drones
• UAV research and development, covering platforms, real-time operating
systems, perception and communication algorithms, control, and
decision-making algorithms
• Wireless and networked robotics
• Low-power platforms for nano-size and pico-size UAVs
• Bio-inspired, evolutionary, and self-organized methodologies
***Position: PhD scholarship or Researcher in Mathematical Optimization
applied to Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles***
The Technology Innovation Institute aims to strengthen its expertises in
the field of Mathematical Optimization applied to autonomous vehicles. The
person who accepts this position will take care of theoretical and
practical decision-making aspects related to the optimization of aerial,
terrestrial, marine and submarine autonomous unmanned vehicles routing and
communications.
The position is open for both candidates interested in doing a PhD or for
more senior candidate, looking for a researcher position.
Main Responsibilities:
-Development of Operations Research algorithms.
-Write efficient and easy to read code.
-Develop, test and deploy computer applications.
