About this position
Open PhD position at the Rainbow team, IRISA/Inria Rennes, France, on visual- and haptic-based control of aerial robots for the manipulation of articulated objects.
The project focuses on aerial robotics, robot manipulation, visual servoing, haptic sensing, machine learning, reinforcement learning, and control for tasks such as opening doors and valves, assembling structures, and interacting with dynamic or uncertain environments.
Supervision is by Paolo Robuffo Giordano and Marco Tognon (Rainbow team). The work will build on aerial manipulators and extend methods toward more robust onboard sensing, including cameras and skin-like touch sensors, with real-world experimental validation.
Applicants should have an M.Sc. or Ph.D. in computer science, robotics, engineering, applied mathematics, or a related field. Strong programming experience in C/C++, ROS, and Matlab/Simulink is expected. Experience with visual perception, optimization, machine learning for vision, and reinforcement learning for control is a plus.
The position is full-time for 3 years and is paid according to French salary regulations for PhD students. Applications are accepted via the online form, and the call remains open until a suitable candidate is found.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
