multi-agent systems with time synchronization tasks

  • Design of an optimization-based predictive path tracking controller
  • Experimental validation with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles

(UGVs)

  • Self-responsible work on the research project
  • Presentation and publication of scientific results

Your Qualification:

  • Very good master’s degree in mathematics, applied mathematics or a related engineering

discipline

  • Good background in applied control, optimal control, or optimization

Contact listed in the advert

Some positions — especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland — are filled by writing directly to the supervisor rather than through an online form. These addresses were taken from the advert text, so check them against the official listing before you write.

A cold email to a supervisor is the highest-leverage thing you can send — and the easiest to get wrong. Ask us to look at yours before you hit send.
