Ph.D. Student Opening in Robotics

The Intelligent Autonomous Systems Lab (http://ualr.edu/cxye/laboratory.htm) of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock has one Ph.D. student openings for Spring/Fall 2014. The successful candidates will develop computer vision methods based on a 3D Flash LIDAR for a co-robotic navigation aid for the visually impaired. The research topic is 6-DOF Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. The research assistantship carries a monthly stipend of $1500 (annual stipend $18,000).
The project is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In 2013, The NIH funded three projects nationwide through the National Robotics Initiative Program. More information about this project may be found here:
