Post-Doc position, “Realistic simulation of marine drones”
Lab-STICC, MOCS team, CNRS, UBO, Brest, France.
Available on autumn 2018 for one year


The MOCS team of Lab-STICC at the University of Brest (UBO), France, is 
looking for candidates for a one year postdoctoral research position. 
Applicants should have a PhD degree in computer science or equivalent 
area (sections CNU 27 and 61).

They should demonstrate their abilities to conduct high-quality research 
in one or more of the following areas: 1) Cyber-physical system 
modelling and simulation, 2) Component-Based and Model-Driven 
Engineering 3) ROS or Gazebo simulation for robotic systems. We highly 
regard candidates that already made proof of concepts (demonstrators) 
and want to put the theory into practice by implementing the results of 
their work in real prototypes (software).

Applicants should e-mail their CV, motivations with a list of two 
publications to Pr. Jean-Philippe Babau (email address: 
babau at univ-brest.fr) before September 15th 2018.

*Context*
Nowadays robotic systems are a combination of complex software and 
hardware components providing sophisticated functionalities. Robotic 
control systems evolving in an uncertain environment are generally 
developed case by case for specific deployment platforms. The embedded 
software is difficult to tune and test. In this project, we propose to 
model robotic architectures as a set of communicating components using a 
model-driven framework. The model is then used to generate simulation 
code to evaluate the performances of the drone.

*Post-Doc project*
During the post-doctoral position, we will integrate in our approach the 
following aspects:
- the ability to handle heterogeneous elements : first, the project will 
define a standardized API for each specific part of the marine drone 
(sensor, actuator, controller, …) and its environment (sea, …). Specific 
element (implementation or specification) will be plugged to the 
standard using a provided “universal” adaptor (to develop).
- the ability to handle precision: each component produces output 
considering inputs with a certain precision. The precision will be part 
of modeling in order to evaluate the global precision of a given assembly.
The validation of the proposals will be driven by scenarios provided by 
the industrial and academic partner. This project is part of a joint 
work with SHOM and another team of the Lab-STICC (PRASYS/ENSTA) for 
robotic domain-specific aspects.
Expected results
- A modeling tool for marine drone simulation
- A set of standardized API and “universal” adaptors for each part of a 
marine drone
- A precision modeling language and its interpreter
- Experiments results considering specification and implementation 
provided by the partners
