Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering

The 3mE Faculty trains committed engineering students, PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers in groundbreaking scientific research in the fields of mechanical, maritime and materials engineering. 3mE is the epitome of a dynamic, innovative faculty, with a European scope that contributes demonstrable economic and social benefits.

The Cognitive Robotics department has the mission to develop intelligent robots and vehicles that will advance mobility, productivity and quality of life. The department combines fundamental research with work on physical demonstrators in areas such as self-driving vehicles, collaborative industrial robots, mobile manipulators and haptic interfaces. Of special interest are robotic solutions for complex, human-inhabited environments. Collaborations exist with cross-faculty institutes (TU Delft Robotics Institute and TU Delft Transport Institute), the national robotic ecosystem (RoboValley, Holland Robotics) and international academia and industry.

The faculty opening is within the Intelligent Vehicles group; it focuses on methods for environment perception, dynamics and control and human factors in the context of automated driving.

Specific topics of interest include:

  • Object detection (position, pose and shape estimation)

  • Environment representation (e.g. sensor-level, grid-level, object-level)

  • Multi-target tracking

  • Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)

  • Distributed sensing

  • Life-long mapping of large scale environments

  • Statistical methods and machine learning incl. deep learning

  • Heterogeneous and temporal data fusion.
