We currently have no open positions. 

Note that we will likely be hiring 2 researchers with experience in (bimanual) manipulation to develop heavy demining robots in winter 2024-2025, so keep an eye on this page if this research domain is of interest to you.

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.
