== Position description ==
The candidates will be recruited in the Autonomous Systems and Robotics research team, inside the U2IS department. ASR dedicates itself to the development of technological systems with strong autonomy and high dependability, focusing in particular on learning, perception, navigation, human-robot interaction for assistive robotics and intelligent vehicles. The candidates will lead research and innovation activities on one or several of the following themes:

• perception, computer vision, image processing, human-robot interaction
• machine learning, developmental and cognitive robotics
• navigation, SLAM, localization, planning and control 
• systems architecture for autonomous vehicles.

These activities should be conducted in the application areas of intelligent vehicles, automation, assistive/service robotics or defense and security, in link with the other members of the team. In particular, candidates could be integrated in the joint ENSTA ParisTech-INRIA FLOWERS team. The candidates are expected to participate in the development of partnerships, collaborations and projects in his/her domain, particularly in partnership with industry.
