Beschreibung

PhD Student / Research Assistant (f/m/d) in the field of AR/VR-Techniques for Robotic Decontamination

Organisationseinheit:

Institut für Anthropomatik und Robotik (IAR)

Ihre Aufgaben:

Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the Research Unit 5339 "AI-based Methodology for the Fast Maturation of Immature Manufacturing Processes" was recently established at KIT and the Fraunhofer IOSB.

You will be part of a large, interdisciplinary team from the fields of production engineering and computer science and explore fundamentally new approaches in seven sub-projects to make the complex development phases of new production processes faster, more cost-effective and efficient through the targeted use of AI methods.

The aim of your research work in subproject M4 "Efficient and Accurate State Estimation and Feedback Control under Uncertainties" is to develop high-quality estimation and control methods for the distributed production processes

This includes:
(i) representation of belief states of distributed nonlinear processes with an adjustable tradeoff between complexity and representation capacity; (ii) methods for stochastic uncertainty propagation and filtering in large, distributed state spaces with differentiable ensemble flow filters, where the number of states may be several thousand; (iii) a modular sensor modelling framework that allows quick switching between sensor models without relearning for the different phases of the maturation; (iv) stochastic feedback control of nonlinear distributed processes with scenario-based progressive stochastic MPC to cope with model uncertainties and noise acting upon the process; and (v) model-based policy optimization techniques exploiting the distributed state and action spaces of the given production process. Research challenges include the high dimensionality of the distributed process models, the need for exploitation of distributed state and action representations of the process, strong nonlinearities in the state evolution models, nonlinear sensor models, and observations of disparate dimensionalities.

The final goal of your scientific activities for the DFG Research Unit at KIT is your doctorate.
