Robot-Era is to develop complete advanced robotic services integrated
in intelligent environments, which will actively work in real
conditions and cooperate with real people to provide favourable
independent living, improving the quality of life and the efficiency of
care for elderly people. Robot-Era will demonstrate the general
feasibility and effectiveness of these systems, as well as their social
plausibility and acceptability by end-users.

The role of the AASS in Robot-Era will be to develop an advanced,
modular and customizable ambient intelligence infrastructure within
which the above services can be provided. A unique feature of this
infrastructure will be that it will span across several environments,
ranging from homes to streets and public places, in order to provide
ubiquitous assistance to senior citizens. AASS will also supervise the
development of one of the project's two testing sites: a smart
apartment inside a large residential facility for senior citizens.

Two PhD Positions on Hybrid Knowledge Representation

***** Two PhD Positions on Hybrid Knowledge Representation *****

Center for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS)
Örebro University, Sweden
==============================

========================================

----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Short
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Applications are invited for two PhD student positions in Computer
Science at Örebro University, Sweden. The positions are in the area of
hybrid knowledge representaiton and reasoning, planning and execution
monitoring in the context of the EU project RACE. The positions are
for three years. Application deadline is October 15, 2011.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About the Positions
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The main task of the students will be to perform world-class research
on hybrid knowledge representation and reasoning, and hybrid planning
and plan execution monitoring, for robotic systems. Hybrid in this
context means that the robot is capable of inferring new information
about its environment from a variety of information of different
nature. For instance, the robot will consider flexible temporal
requirements (e.g., serving food while it is warm, but not too soon
after the previous course) together with causal requirements (e.g.,
serving a meal satisfies the goal of feeding the guests) and resource
constraints (e.g., dishes from the previous course must be cleared as
space must be made for the new course). Such requirements should be
upheld both during planning and on-line execution monitoring.

The successful candidates will be employed as PhD students with Örebro
University for an expected duration of three years. They will work
within the local RACE team at Örebro University, but they will also
collaborate with the other European partners in RACE, both remotely and
through physical meetings and research visits. A limited amount of
teaching may also be part of the PhD student's duties.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About the RACE Project
----------------------------------------------------------------------

RACE, "Robustness by Autonomous Competence Enhancement", is a European
Union FP7 project. The overall aim of RACE is to develop an artificial
cognitive system, embodied by a service robot, able to build a
high-level understanding of the world it inhabits by storing and
exploiting appropriate memories of its experiences. Experiences will
be recorded internally at multiple levels: high-level descriptions in
terms of goals, tasks and behaviours, and sensory and actuator skills
at the lowest level. RACE will develop methods for conceptualizing
acquired experiences so as to extend the robot's planning and execution
capabilities beyond preconceived situations.

AASS's role in RACE concerns (1) the development of knowledge
representation and reasoning schemes suited for reasoning about
multiple types of experiences; and (2) the use of this acquired and
inferred knowledge for plan generation and execution. Constraint-based
techniques will be explored for both representation and reasoning and
planning/execution monitoring purposes, and in particular a meta-CSP
approach for integrating temporal, resource, causal and spatial
reasoning will be examined.

The RACE consortium consists of six European partners: the University
of Hamburg (Germany), the University of Leeds (UK), Örebro University
(Sweden), the University of Osnabrück (Germany), the University of
Aveiro (Portugal), and the technology transfer institution HITeC
e.V. (Germany).
