Future Member

We currently have two open positions.

• In the framework of the European project AIDEDeX,focused on AI-driven detection of hidden threats using unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), we are recruiting 1 full-time Researcher in Robotics for demining who will contribute to cutting-edge research in robotics and AI while collaborating with academic and industrial partners. Please find here the full job description and apply before 2/1/2025.
• In order to help the RAS-team in solving problems related to AI and optimisation, we are recruiting 1 full-time AI expert, who will work across multiple projects on applying AI to robotics (e.g. development of classifiers for environmental understanding) and counter-robotics (e.g. identifying suspicious flight behaviours in a database of flight trajectories). Please find here the full job description and apply before 26/1/2025.

Note that we are also looking forward to the following recruitments, so keep an eye on this page for regular updates:

• Q2 2025: C-UAS expert
• Q2 2025: Lab technician
• Q3 2025: 2 Maritime robotics researchers (possibility to perform a PhD)
• Q3 2025: 2 Mobile manipulation researchers
• Q3 2025: Aerial robotics engineer (obligation to perform a PhD)

The Royal Military Academy is subscribed in the ERASMUS programme. As a result, the Robotics & Autonomous Systems unit attracts national and international master thesis students that want to pair a thorough theoretical development to a practical implementation on one of our robotic systems.

We always prefer to include master thesis students in our financed research projects, as this gives the students the greatest potential to work inside a real research team and to have the financial means to have access to equipment. Therefore, please take a look at our running research projects and let us know if your are interested in contributing.

The Royal Military Academy is an accredited university and can deliver PhD. degrees. However, in order to maximize cross-fertilization between civilian and military research, we prefer to work in collaboration with universities. 

As a military university, our role is often to validate in real-life conditions the theoretical developments performed within the PhD. study. As a unit of Belgian Defence, this often entails field-testing robotic systems (land / air / marine) in tough conditions.

Please have a look at our active research activities and our running projects and let us know if you see a potential for collaboration.
