- Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States
- On-site
- Full-time · Entry
Early-career research position focused on robotics and navigation for affordable, energy-efficient building construction.
Responsibilities
- Conduct research on technologies that make new building construction and retrofits of existing buildings affordable, energy efficient and resilient.
- Design and implement a modular ROS 2 software architecture for onboard sensing, autonomy, mapping, data logging, launch management, and configuration management.
- Develop and integrate ROS 2 drivers and hardware interfaces for LiDAR, inertial measurement units, RGB or stereo cameras, wheel odometry, survey-grade laser scanners, and additional sensing systems.
- Develop robust procedures for sensor calibration, coordinate-frame management, timestamp synchronization, and data acquisition across heterogeneous devices.
- Develop and evaluate multi-sensor localization and state-estimation methods that fuse LiDAR, IMU, camera, and wheel-odometry data in GPS-denied, low-light environments.
