We are looking to recruit a Research Associate with a research profile in Safety for Autonomous Robots to join our Agri-robotics research team.

The University of Lincoln robotics team is working on a large project with the Agri-robotics industry, towards the open development platform for robotic crop harvesting. The platform will facilitate open and standardised access to the core software and hardware components providing key functionality such as autonomy, safety or perception enabling rapid adoption by the industry and academia. The core functionality will enable further development and customisation which can be privately exploited by the industry, leading to faster adoption of more reliable robotic technology in agriculture. Such a strategy will lead to step changes in farming productivity and help to alleviate global problems with the availability of a workforce in the sector. In this project, the principle will be demonstrated by developing commercial robotic systems for tomato and strawberry harvesting.

Sensing and perception in field robotics;
Human-robot interaction;
Safety engineering;
Formal modelling and verification;
Learning for autonomous systems.

As the applicant, you should have, or expect to soon obtain, a PhD in a relevant area. You must have excellent mathematical and coding skills (C++/Python), knowledge of working with robots and using ROS (desirable ROS 2), knowledge of version control systems like GIT, and expertise in running or analysing experiments with human participants.

This opportunity allows you to engage in international collaboration within an ambitious team, to work with state-of-the-art robotic hardware and software, and to benefit from excellent support to produce and disseminate original research contributions in the leading international conferences and journals. You will have access to state-of-the-art research farms equipped with industrial standard production facilities, as well as agricultural robots with advanced sensors and tools.
