Job Summary
In this role, you will develop cooperation strategies for autonomous vehicles, test prototypes in lab and field settings, and integrate them into the central planning and situational awareness system for maritime operations.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As a new team member in the Situational Awareness and Cyber Security Group within the Maritime Security Technologies Department, you will research innovative methods for collective self-organisation and cooperation strategies for autonomous unmanned vehicles on land, at sea and in the air (UxVs). These enable complex tasks to be tackled through a division of labour without the need for a central control component. You will initially develop and test your methods using models, and later using real sensor-carrying systems. To this end, you will also make use of joint testing missions with our partners. By integrating your work into our mission planning and situational awareness system, you will enable the control of the systems and access to the available sensors. This allows for the automatic, reliable and secure execution of data collection missions. Through your work, you will actively contribute to the creation of a robust, adaptive and decision-supporting situational awareness system for maritime infrastructure - directly linking fundamental research, technological innovation and practical application. We would be happy to offer you the opportunity to use these topics for a PhD.
- You will model task distribution, role formation, and coordination within autonomous system networks and, based on this, develop scalable and robust cooperation strategies.
- You will implement scientific prototypes of the developed methods for use on various sensor-carrying systems on land, at sea, and in the air.
- You will integrate the developed prototypes into our mission planning and situational awareness system and support their further development.
- You will test the developed prototypes in the laboratory and in the field, including as part of joint testing campaigns with our partners.
