Teaching assistants within research at the Department of Computer Science

Description of the workplace

The Robotics Lab at LTH has a number of research projects. One project is the EUROSTAR project "RIACT" which aims to evaluate off-the-shelf computer vision libraries for use in our SkiROS system. The goal of the project is to evaluate the different software packages straight out of the box, i.e., to identify the baseline performance of each package and then integrate each of the methods into a 'robot skill' that can then be automatically controlled on the robot via the SkiROS software.

Work duties

The duties of a teaching assistant must comprise educational tasks, administration or participation in research.

The duties includes:

• Software development of computer vision functions in SkiROS
• Evaluation of computer vision functions under different conditions
• Implementation of novel methods and comparing with baseline methods

You will work with different colleagues in the robotic lab and you will participate in project meetings with international partners.
