Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Ph.D. Position in Self-Organization and Swarm Ro ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
At the department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany within the group “Bioinspired Communication Systems” of Prof. Heinz Koeppl the following position is available, starting as soon as possible
PhD Position – Self-Organization & Swarm Robotics (100% E13 TV-H)
initially limited for 3 years, with the possibility to extend.
The research group investigates the collective dynamics of multi-agent systems in theory and experimentation. Focus is put on active matter systems and their technological embodiments in the form of robot swarms.
The PhD research project should investigate the theoretical interplay between the single agent’s internal complexity and the achievable complexity of the emergent collective behavior. Reinforcement learning and deep neural networks will be used to learn local policies from specified emergent properties or from acquired data. The work involves mathematical investigations, extensive simulation and programming work and possibly experimental work within the established quadcopter flying arena of the lab. Technische Universität Darmstadt provides the environment and support for publishing and presenting original research results at leading international conferences and in scientific journals.
