The candidates will lead research and innovation activities on one or several of the following themes:
  • perception, computer vision, image processing, human-robot interaction
  • machine learning, developmental and cognitive robotics
  • navigation, SLAM, localization, planning and control 
  • systems architecture for autonomous vehicles.
These activities should be conducted in the application areas of intelligent vehicles, automation, assistive/service robotics or defense and security, in link with the other members of the team. In particular, candidates could be integrated in the joint ENSTA ParisTech-INRIA FLOWERS team. The candidates are expected to participate in the development of partnerships, collaborations and projects in his/her domain, particularly in partnership with industry.
