Postdoctoral Research Fellow / Tutkijatohtori (Small Autonomous Ground Vehicle) - Tampereen yliopisto - Remote - Global

The postdoctoral research fellows will be supervised by principal investigators from the Units of Signal Processing and Automation Technology and Mechanical Engineering. Our research broadly covers computer vision, machine learning, robotics, and control, addressing a wide range of problems in artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. During this project, we develop new technology for small autonomous ground vehicles. The project consists of 1 to 3 postdoctoral research fellows and multiple PhD students and research assistants. The main objective is to develop vehicles that can move autonomously in rough terrains, such as forests in Finland, and under harsh weather conditions, such as winter in Finland. Due to the extreme challenge, the project includes all parts of robot design: Predictive Terrain-Adaptive Robot Balance and Traversability Control, Robot Vision and Perception, Robot Listening and Perception, Robot Learning for Autonomous Navigation. Approaches and methods include conventional solid technologies from past robotic research and modern AI-driven technologies that learn from real data and simulations. The project is made together with the top local robotic companies.
