About the position
The Department of Ocean Operations and Civil Engineering (IHB) at NTNU has a vacancy for a PhD candidate within the topic autonomous navigation and control of marine surface vessels.
The vision of the autonomous self-sailing ship has gained a lot of attention and may be considered to be one of the hottest topics within the maritime technology domain. It is a major challenge involving handling and coordinating on-board systems, performing safe and robust navigation and motion control, providing redundant energy and propulsion, as well as handling on-board equipment such as winches, cranes, cargo, and underwater drones with a minimum of human interaction. Solving these issues in a practical and pragmatic way that caters for industrialization has an enormous potential. This unique research opportunity focuses on navigation and motion control to enable a ship to go from quay-to-quay on its own in a safe, robust, and energy efficient way.
The project will collaborate closely with key industry players and has ambition to utilize full-scale closed-loop experiments to a large degree. Examples of relevant topics include unified motion control for stationkeeping and transit, extended situational awareness and unified operation picture, autonomous trajectory planning with collision avoidance, automated docking, tight fuel consumption optimization in all operational states, sensor fusion, control allocation, etc.
This project consists of 1 PhD position with associated supervisors. The candidate will also be connected and cooperating with several research groups at NTNU.
Your immediate leader is Head of department
