  • Investigate and implement coordination strategies for multi-agent systems, focusing on decentralised and centralised planning approaches
  • Integrate and test planning components on both simulated and physical robotic platforms
  • Support the deployment of software components and integration of sensors for real-time perception and planning.

Skills and Experience

  • Currently enrolled in a Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field
  • Solid programming experience in C and/or Python on Ubuntu
  • Familiarity with the ROS2 framework within Docker for development and deployment
  • Experience implementing and testing planning algorithms on real robotic systems
  • Foundational knowledge in one or more of the following:
    • Motion/path planning and trajectory optimisation
    • Multi-agent task allocation and coordination
    • Basic robotic kinematics and navigation

Considered as Assets
