Researcher Multi-Actuated Ground Vehicles (ITEAM) Job Description

Marie Curie ESR position: coupled state/input/parameter estimation for multi-actuated ground vehicles.

Function
Flanders Make takes part in the Interdisciplinary Training Network in Multi-Actuated Ground Vehicles (ITEAM). The objective for Flanders Make is to propose novel model-based approaches for coupled state/input/parameter estimation for the Multi-Actuated Ground Vehicle (MAGV). The developed estimators will serve to make available all necessary information for advanced vehicle dynamics control systems.

The main challenge concerns the development of the dynamic model(s) for the estimation purpose. The MAGV architecture must be exploited, and the developed methodology should allow to fuse all available sensor information from the vehicle to obtain reliable and accurate estimation with limited computational requirements. We are looking for an early stage researcher to take up this challenge in an international learning environment.

More specifically, you will:

• investigate and develop novel model-based approaches for coupled state/input/parameter estimation for MAGVs.
• validate the developed algorithms on a real MAGV demonstrator
• frequently attend workshops with the other researches of ITEAM and contribute to the knowledge exchange.
• report to the Site manager.
