Offer Description

Applications are open for one Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship, within the framework of project/R&D institution (1801P.00984.1.02) LARSYS/ISR (UIDB/50009/2020) - DSOR LAB/ISR), financed by national funds through FCT

Workplan: Design and Implementation of Robust Distributed Formation Control for Aerial Vehicles

The objective of this work plan is the design of distributed formation control for a set of quadrotors subject simultaneously to external disturbances and switching communication topologies. The envisaged controller should incorporate position and attitude control laws for each quadrotor. Both control laws should have a nominal part for trajectory tracking and a robust part that compensates for the dynamic model uncertainties and time-varying external disturbances. The developed controller should guarantee that the thrust force is bounded with respect to the position error by utilizing saturation functions. Finally, the devised solution should be assessed both in simulation and in practice.

Duration: The research fellowship will have the duration of 6 months. It's expected to begin in 07/2023, and may be eventually renewed up to the maximum of 12 months.

It is mandatory to formalize applications with the submission of the following documents: i) B1 Form – Fellowship application (https: // ist- id.pt/concursos/bolsas/); ii) Curriculum Vitae ; iii) academic degree certificate; iv) motivation letter; v) declaration on honour that the applicant does not exceed with this contract an accumulated period of three years in this type of fellowship, continuously or with interruptions, within the technological and scientific system, and that the research work that led to the PhD degree was carried out in a different entity from the host institution of the fellowship.
