PhD researcher - Dynamic Safety Assurance for Autonomous Outdoor Operation

At the M-Group at KU Leuven Bruges Campus, we are driving innovation in interconnected, intelligent mechatronic systems. A dedicated part of our team focuses on dependable autonomous systems and dynamic safety assurance, addressing the latest challenges in safety-critical autonomous operation and advancing the future of this rapidly evolving field in close collaboration with Flanders Make.

With the newly launched COSAIN project Co-Designing Safety, Control and Perception for Autonomous Outdoor Operation we are looking for an ambitious junior researcher to help develop next-generation methods for runtime safety assurance in autonomous systems operating in complex, uncertain environments.

Project

COSAIN addresses a key challenge in autonomous systems: ensuring safe behaviour in dynamic and uncertain outdoor environments where perception, control, and safety are tightly interconnected. The project introduces a novel co-design approach ce...
