Synopsis

Synopsis of Program:

The fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) hold much promise as sectors of the economy where we can expect to see continuous vigorous growth in the coming decades. STEM job creation is expected to outpace non-STEM job creation significantly, according to the Commerce Department, reflecting the importance of STEM knowledge to the US economy.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) plays a leadership role in developing and implementing efforts to enhance and improve STEM education in the United States. Through the NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) initiative, the agency continues to make a substantial commitment to the highest caliber undergraduate STEM education through a Foundation-wide framework of investments. The IUSE: EDU is a core NSF STEM education program that seeks to promote novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning

Applications are invited for several Ph.D. positions in Coordination and Control of Mobile Multi-Robot Systems. The positions are with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina A&T State University (NCAT), and the students will work under the supervision of Dr. Ioannis Raptis.

The research aims to establish a theoretical and computational framework for designing motion coordination algorithms for fleets of mobile robots operating in confined spaces. Applications include traffic management in autonomous intersections, urban aerial mobility, and warehouse automation. The research has analytical, computational, and experimental components. The derived algorithms will be validated using actual aerial and ground mobile robots.

Students from all majors relevant to control systems, computer science or engineering, and applied mathematics are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong and demonstrated background in at least one of the following topical areas:
