We have two immediate openings (spring 2014) for Ph.D. graduate research assistants (full scholarship) on estimation and control of aerial robots at the Aerospace Engineering Department of the University of KansasKUAE.  The successful candidates will work on developing new methodologies and novel systems to increase the safety, intelligence, and robustness of both manned and unmanned aircraft (flying robot).

Current research topics include

(1) vision-aided navigation (e.g., optical flow),
(2) small aerial robot development for remote sensing,
(3) wind/turbulence/wake sensing and wind soaring,
(4) cooperative control (e.g., tight formation flight), etc.

The long term goal is to understand how birds interact with surrounding environments such as obstacles or winds, and utilize these strategies to help solving real-world engineering problems. Emphasis will be put on new algorithm/system development as well as flight test validations using small aerial robots, or unmanned aircraft systems.  

Applicants should hold a B.S. or M.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields. Desired candidates should have combined skills of both control/estimation theories and hands-on capabilities for aerial robot development and flight testing.

Desired skills include:

(1)Flight controller/estimation filter design (e.g. PID/LQR controller, Kalman filter),
(2)C and MATLAB/Simulink programming,
(3)Embedded system development.

Students with experiences on Remote Controlled (RC) airplanes and Paparazzi /Procerus/Piccolo autopilots are especially welcomed to apply.

Please contact Assistant Professor Haiyang Chao (<mailto:chaohaiyang at ku.edu>) with detailed CV, research statement, GRE/TOEFL scores, and copies of transcript(s) for initial review.
