Planning, Coordination and Logistics of Multi-Agent Heterogeneous Teams

This Post-Doc researcher position is embedded within a team of multi-disciplinary scientists and engineers at the Army Research Lab at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. The team's research focus is on aerial and ground based robotics systems and autonomy with the objective to further the fundamental sciences of these fields as tailored by Army relevant problems and end goals. This opportunity involves formulating research in the area of autonomous multi-agent teams with an emphasis on the energy constraints associated with their mission planning and logistics of operation. The researcher will perform research in multi-agent teams of autonomous systems with an emphasis on tasking systems in resource constrained environments, formulate the research space and apply known and new techniques to Army relevant problems for autonomous teams of systems with a focus on fundamental research to push the state of the science. The position includes contributing guidance to the current project team and external university partners, publishing results to the larger scientific community through formal conference and journal submissions, and supporting demonstrations in simulation and on live systems. This opportunity is part of the Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP), designed to increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army.
