PhD Position Opportunity: Autonomous Vehicles and Advanced Control Strategies in Marine Robotics per al Institut de Ciències del Mar

The Instituto de Ciencias del Mar (ICM-CSIC) invites applications for a 4-years fully-funded PhD position as part of the innovative EU project “Demonstration of long-endurance intelligent multi-purpose autonomous vehicles for marine applications“ (MERLIN), focusing on the next generation of autonomous marine vehicles and bioinspired robots. Join a prestigious research team at ICM-CSIC, a leading institute in marine sciences, and contribute to cutting-edge developments in coastal and deep-sea exploration.

Position Overview

The successful PhD candidate will be central to the generation of technical requirements for the development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). The candidate will also work on the creation of advanced control strategies, incorporating bioinspired design elements to enhance the autonomy and performance of these marine robots.

Key Research Area:

• Autonomous Vehicle Design: Define technical requirements for state-of-the-art autonomous systems, optimizing for minimal human intervention.
• Control Systems Development: Design advanced control strategies for USVs and bioinspired robots to improve their performance in diverse marine conditions.
• Bioinspired Robotics: Explore natural biological mechanisms to inspire innovative robotic systems that excel in complex underwater environments.
• Mission Planning and Execution: Collaborate with the MERLIN team on integrating AI-driven navigation, data acquisition, and mission control in real-world marine operations.

Deadline: 30 November 2024
