Doctoral student in Underwater Robotics

Project description

Third-cycle subject: Computer Science

 The main objective is a proof of concept of multimodality, multi vehicle, localization and change detection in the scenario of collaborating AUVs, that is, the autonomous detection of changes on the seafloor, using multiple vehicles surveying the area and building a detailed 3D model using multimodal sensing over time. We build on the systems and methods developed within SMaRC, but now we will be able to put the parts (SLAM navigation and bathymetric reconstructions, together and add localization, more sensor modalities, multiple vehicles and change detection in a demonstrated simulation of a full resident AUV change detection scenario over time.

Supervision: John Folkesson is proposed to supervise the doctoral student. Decisions are made on admission
