Odense M
The Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Center at the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute at the University of Southern Denmark, invites applicants for a 4+4 PhD position in autonomous drone system design for navigation and grasping over overhead cables for inspection and recharging. The starting date for the positions is 1. September 2020. The application deadline is 3. August 2020.
Profile and requirements
We are looking for a highly motivated and ambitious student with excellent knowledge of English (written and spoken), who can work well in a team as well as independently and quickly acquire knowledge in new topics.
The preferred candidate is required to be enrolled in a TEK master’s programme in engineering with a documented educational experience in the topics of electronics, mathematics, physics, embedded systems, and computer programming.
The PhD project
The announced PhD position is a part of the EU H2020 project, Drones4Safety. Drones4Safety is an innovative drone project that aims to build autonomous drone systems to inspect railway and bridge infrastructures while recharging themselves from the nearby overhead cables.
The PhD research aims to develop and implement an autonomous drone system to detect and grasp on thin overhead cables (railways and high-voltage cables) for recharging. The developed drone system will enable continuous drone operations near energized infrastructures. The development of the drone system will be carried out in close collaboration with European academic and industrial expertise in AI, energy harvesting, and infrastructure inspection.
The application must include a research plan of max. 3 pages, indicating the candidate's expected research for the 4-year PhD period. The plan must include problem motivation, state of art, research question, proposed methodology, and expected results. The research plan must indicate the applicants’ competence to execute the research plan.
Contact information
Further information is available by contacting the Drones4Safety project leader, Assoc. Prof. Emad Samuel Malki Ebeid, at [email protected].
