PhD scholarship in Multi-Task Learning for Construction Robotics Perception

Would you like to combine novel machine learning approaches with autonomous robots in the construction sector? We are inviting a fully funded 3-year PhD position in the area of multi-task learning for construction robotics perception.

The PhD candidate will explore multi-task learning methods to analyse data from multiple different sensors onboard an autonomous mobile robot, while the perception system needs to operate under harsh environmental and lighting conditions. The ultimate goal of this PhD project is to integrate information extracted from sensor data (such as semantic information about depicted objects, defects or other relevant information for shotcreting) in reconstructed BIM/CIM models. As a result, the research topic of this PhD project stands at the intersection of Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Robotics.
