Luxembourg, Luxembourg Université du Luxembourg Temps plein

Dr. Jose Luis SANCHEZ-LOPEZ, Research Scientist (Permanent) and co-head of the ARG. His main research interest is to provide robots (both individually and in teams) with a deeper understanding of the situation and with intelligent and autonomous planning and task execution. He has published more than 80 papers in international peer-reviewed conferences and journals that generated an impact of more than 2050 citations (according to Google Scholar). Among his multiple scientific roles, he is an associate editor of four journals, including IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.

Your Role:


The position holder will work under the umbrella of a partnership
project Theia with the Luxembourg-based company
GAMMA AR, developing a solution for real-time vision-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) of a hand-held tablet on real construction sites (i.e.

as-built), with drift-free alignment with existing Building Information Management (BIM) data (i.e. as-planned). This solution will extend our novel Situational Graphs (S-Graphs), concretely our Informed S-Graphs and our Vision-based S-Graphs. Concretely, the
main scientific challenges are the (1) vision-based global localization of the hand-held device within BIM (i.e. global alignment between the real construction site and the BIM)
when the main structural elements (e.g. walls) are built and there are no major deviations from the BIM.

(2) vision-based individual alignment between the main elements of the construction site and BIM, when there are no major deviations.

And (3) vision-based global and individual alignment between the construction site and its main elements and BIM in the presence of deviations.

The solution will be validated experimentally in real datasets and real construction sites (together with their BIM).

On top of this, the solution will be integrated into our ready-to-use robotic platforms to demonstrate its potential use in autonomous robot systems in real-world use cases.

The position holder will be required to perform the following
tasks:

  • Conducting research on perception and situation understanding, making contributions to the state-of-the-art in the fields of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), computer vision, machine learning, robotics, and/or related
  • Proposing and implementing working novel solutions validated in real datasets and real construction sites and our robotic platforms
  • Contributing to the development of the solution and its technological demonstration envisaged on the partnership project Theia with Gamma AR
  • Contributing to the success and impact of the partnership project Theia with Gamma AR
  • Contributing to the research line of situational awareness for robots and autonomous systems of the ARG
  • Disseminating results through scientific publications in top peerreviewed international journals, such as IEEE RA-L, and Elsevier RAS, and conferences, such as ICRA, and IROS

Your Profile:

Qualification:

  • A master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field

Experience and hard skills:

  • Background in (at least one) simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), computer vision, machine learning, robotics, and/or related
  • Strong mathematical background
  • Strong programming skills in (at least one) Python/C++. Experience in Android programming is a plus
  • Familiarity with computer vision frameworks like OpenCV, and/or deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow, and/or optimizationbased frameworks such as GTSAM, G2O, or similar, and/or robotics frameworks like ROS

Soft and transferable skills:

  • Commitment, high motivation, and high ambition
  • Team working
  • Critical mind

Language skills:

  • Fluent written and verbal communication skills in English are required
