Project description
The PhD project is setup in the context of an industrial focused research project named FERA with several industrial partners including Universal Robots and Novo Nordisk.

The project will focus on research on methods and tools for using robot data to support robot programming. This project aims to develop methods and tools for searching robot source code, design documents and operation data and to enable developers to transform past solutions into new robot programs.

Responsibilities:

  • Design a data infrastructure for hosting and serving relevant data formats, e.g. source code and operation data.
  • Develop interfaces for searching data including the visualization of source code and data elements.
  • Analyze the support provided by interfaces for robot programmers to find code and data for reuse for different domain cases.

Profile and requirements
The candidate will participate in research and teaching activities within the areas of software and robotics. The position requires a master’s degree within a relevant area (e.g. software or robotics) and the desired candidate is expected to have knowledge within relevant areas, e.g. within software technologies for programmer support, user interfaces and data management.

Furthermore, the successful candidate is expected to:
