Navigation - NAVI004 - Adaptive Terrain-Aware Navigation for Autonomous Mobile Robots in Uneven Outdoor Environments

Track: NAVIGATION.

Project: Develop a terrain‑aware outdoor navigation system that analyzes environmental geometry, identifies slopes and elevation changes, and distinguishes traversable terrain from true obstacles, with particular attention to safe downhill navigation. Combine 3D perception, terrain analysis, and adaptive path planning to evaluate traversability, identify safe regions, and adapt trajectories to inclination and elevation changes.

Required skills:

• Proficiency in Python and C++.
• Experience with ROS 2.
• Knowledge of autonomous navigation and motion planning; understanding of robotics perception and coordinate transformations.

Recommended skills:

• Familiarity with LiDAR, RGB‑D cameras, and point‑cloud processing; terrain mapping, elevation maps, and surface analysis; Nav2 and 3D perception; sensor fusion and obstacle detection; Gazebo or other simulators.

Application: Email only. Include the subject reference in the email subject and attach your CV and cover letter. Any other method is not considered.
