PhD Scholarship

PhD Scholarship in AI for Forest Robotics at NIBIO, Norway This PhD fellowship at the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO) focuses on enabling robots to understand forests in real time. The project combines machine learning, LiDAR point clouds, camera imagery, and robotics to support navigation, self-localisation, traversability, place recognition, and scene understanding in complex forest environments. The research is based at Ås, about 30 km south of Oslo, and the candidate will ...
