Post-doc position in the domain of lifelong, 3D mapping of populated indoor environments

A 1.5 year post-doctoral position is immediately available in the domain of lifelong, 3D mapping of populated indoor environments.

– Context –

The position is available in the context of a bilateral collaboration program between IMT Atlantique, Brest (https://www.imt-atlantique.fr/en) and ENSIBS Lorient, France. The objective of the project is to develop multi-level map representations of habitable environments, capturing 3D metric and semantic properties of the static as well as the dynamic scene (cf. life-long mapping domain). The project is in line with earlier work related to activity recognition, object, scene and social-interactions mapping (see [1-4] for indicative examples), applied to personal assistance provided by intelligent robots and smart environments.

– Technical skills –
Experience in the following technologies/tools: Robot Operating System (ROS), Gazebosim
