Örebro University and the School of Science and Technology are looking for a doctoral student for the doctoral program in computer science, concluding with a doctoral degree (PhD. in Computer Science).
Start date: no later than January 2025.
The research topic for this position is robotic lab automation for handling powdered and granular materials. Robotic lab automation is a major research focus in robotics that is often wrongly thought of as exclusively consisting of grasping, manipulating, and transporting test tubes and beakers which are placed in fixtures and lab machines. An overlooked but equally important task in a lab environment is the handling of powdered and granular chemical substances, which are essential for analytic and production processes. These substances are delivered in containers and processed in chemical reactors from which they must be scooped out for re-packaging, precise dosing, or when cleaning the lab. They can also form clumps, making them heterogeneous, and stick to surfaces, requiring precise scooping actions in constant contact with surfaces that are hidden under the volume of material itself. Handling powdered and granular materials must deal with arbitrarily shaped volumes of material in contact with hidden surfaces that can have complex geometry. To plan and execute efficient scooping actions, we need to perceive and understand the shape and dynamics of the volume of material as well as the hidden surface below it.
The purpose of this project is to enable robotic lab automation for handling powdered and granular materials for material transfer, precise dosing, and cleaning. To accomplish this, we will focus on: (1) Perceiving and modeling powdered and granular material on a hidden surface for scooping from interaction data using, e.g., force-torque and vibratory sensing. (2) Planning and executing scooping actions for efficient material transfer using the models from (1) and generating scooping actions along the hidden surface. (3) Planning and executing scooping actions for precise material dosing using online sensor feedback.
The position will be funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP), which is Sweden’s largest individual research program ever, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and faculty recruitment. The program addresses research on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems acting in collaboration with humans, adapting to their environment through sensors, information and knowledge, and forming intelligent systems-of-systems.
The vision of WASP is excellent research and competence in artificial intelligence autonomous systems and software for the benefit of Swedish society and industry.
