Your role
As a Research Associate (Postdoc) in the Ubiquitous and Intelligent Systems (UBIX) Research Group, you will coordinate SnT’s research team and collaborate with Luxbotix engineers to transition research into operational systems. Your responsibilities will include:
Core Research & Development
- Develop semantic perception modules using VLMs/VLA models, e.g., RobustVLA, ReinboT, OpenDriveVLA, to classify terrain, obstacles, and mission-relevant objects in real time
- Design GNSS-free localisation systems leveraging semantic map-matching, visual odometry, and pre-loaded satellite imagery for loop closure and pose estimation
- Implement multi-sensor fusion pipelines (LiDAR-radar-camera-IMU) for SLAM and environmental awareness in GNSS-denied conditions
- Adapt hierarchical mission planners to decompose high-level defence missions into executable, EW-resilient tasks
- Optimize algorithms for e...
