Centre for Advanced Robotics Technology Innovation (CARTIN) is looking for a candidate to join them as a Research Associate, in the area of robotic perception and navigation in a project that aims for firefighting scenarios. The perception algorithms are to be deployed in the real world adverse environments, where the heavy smoke, water spray and thick mist degrade the performance of sensors severely. The successful candidate will work with Prof. Danwei Wang and a group of Research Fellows, Research Associates, and Ph.D./Masters/Bachelors students in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Key Responsibilities: Perform research, development, implementation, and experimentation of the perception algorithm for mobile robots in firefighting semi-outdoor environments Solve challenges in perception in challenging environments, including detecting people trapped in fire, firemen, and other mobile robots, detecting featured structure in the building, etc Develop deep learning models with lightweight and accurate perception results and project the results to the built map Responsible for robot design and implementation Handle other engineering support on software Job Requirements: Master degree in computer vision, robotic perception or relevant majors Familiar with deep-learning based models for detection, semantic segmentation, and multi-sensor fusion algorithm Strong skills in python, Matlab, Linux, and experience with ROS, and code management tools (git) Experience with autonomous robotics platforms, and perception algorithms with different sensors (4D radar, 3D LiDAR, RGBD cameras, thermal cameras, IMU) Good verbal and written communication skills in English to perform research Experience in industrial product commissioning and delivery Experience with real-world robot system design and integration We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified. Hiring Institution: NTU A research-intensive public university, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has 33,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students in the Engineering, Business, Science, Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, and Graduate colleges. It also has a medical school, the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, established jointly with Imperial College London. NTU is also home to world-class autonomous institutes – the National Institute of Education, S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Earth Observatory of Singapore, and Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering – and various leading research centres such as the Nanyang Environment Water Research Institute (NEWRI) and Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N). Ranked amongst the world’s top universities by QS, NTU has also been named the world’s top young university for the past seven years. The University’s main campus is frequently listed among the Top 15 most beautiful university campuses in the world and has 57 Green Mark-certified (equivalent to LEED-certified) buildings, of which 95% are certified Green Mark Platinum. Apart from its main campus, NTU also has a campus in Novena, Singapore’s healthcare district. Under the NTU Smart Campus vision, the University harnesses the power of digital technology and tech-enabled solutions to support better learning and living experiences, the discovery of new knowledge, and the sustainability of resources.
