2 days ago


Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time

We are looking for a talented and ambitious PhD researcher to join our team at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU). The successful candidate will contribute to groundbreaking research that merges the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, and maritime navigation.

The research project focuses on developing and testing the next generation of situational awareness and collision avoidance systems that integrate foundation AI models. As a PhD candidate, you will have the unique opportunity to work alongside leading experts in the field, collaborate with international partners, and access state-of-the-art facilities.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Conducting internationally relevant research in situational awareness for marine navigation using foundational models
  • Creating relevant datasets through experimental campaigns in the field
  • Developing a language-action model that integrates navigation actions into an existing LLM and provides textual guidance for collision avoidance
  • Developing a vision-language-action model that reasons about navigation scenarios and provides visual and textual guidance for collision avoidance
  • Verifying the contextual reasoning of the developed system in relation to simple and complex navigation scenarios

In addition to your technical skills, you will also have opportunities to participate in teaching, conduct an external research stay, and disseminate your research through publications.
