Robotic simulation or operational research engineer (M-F)

Who are we? With 25 campuses, 8,500 graduates per year, and 106,000 alumni, CESI is a leading engineering school that promotes social mobility through excellence. By joining CESI, you become part of a dynamic environment that combines teamwork, diverse projects, and autonomy. Our research unit, CESI LINEACT (UR 7527), is committed to innovation and regional competitiveness. We focus our efforts on applied research tailored to the needs of businesses. Project Description and Responsibilities This engineering position is part of the DYNALOG project (Architecture de planification et de supervision DYNAmique de mission pour un système intraLOGistique robotisé de grande dimension), funded by France 2030 and supported by the ANR (ANR-23-DMR0-0006) as part of the "Défi Transfert Robotique" call for projects. The aim of this position is to transfer the technological expertise resulting from CESI Lineact's research to the industrial ecosystem of the DYNALOG consortium. The DYNALOG project aims to optimize intralogistics, the internal flow of goods, in particular through the robotization of warehouses, by proposing solutions for supervising, planning and optimizing complex missions for fleets of up to a hundred robots. The project aims to increase the performance, resilience and scalability of robotic systems in warehouses. Video presentation: https://youtu.be/5mebMxo8bmI 3 themes will be addressed: 1. Planning and development of multi-robot optimization algorithms (CESI Rouen Campus) 2. Intralogistics flow simulation (CESI Angoulême Campus) 3. Robotic simulation of a large robot fleet (Campus CESI Angoulême) 3 positions on these different themes are open with the following missions: 1. Planning and development of multi-robot optimization algorithms (Campus CESI Rouen) As part of his/her activities, the future employee/intern will be responsible for : Analyze and master the advanced scheduling and optimization algorithms developed by CESI LINEACT to ensure their effective adaptation and implementation in the project. Carry out a comprehensive review of similar existing work to compare and position the laboratory's algorithms against the current state of the art. Adapt and implement algorithms within the project, focusing on real-time task allocation, pathfinding and energy management for large-scale robotic systems. 2. Intralogistics flow simulation (Campus CESI Angoulême) Develop and validate models to assess the performance and robustness of algorithms under a variety of conditions. Implement emulation models to validate system behavior through realistic interfaces. Integrate simulation results into broader architectural frameworks. Publish and disseminate research results: document findings, publish results in peer-reviewed scientific journals and present advances at international conferences. 3. Robotic simulation of a large robot fleet (Campus CESI Angoulême) Develop a tool to convert 2D maps into 3D meshes. Implement robotic simulations adapted to the project using an existing simulator. Develop software interfaces between real systems and robotic simulations. Propose system architecture recommendations. Missions common to all 3 research engineers : Maintain an active technology watch in your area of expertise. Write technical documentation and project deliverables. Document processes and share feedback to promote technology transfer and replicability. Making data available to the scientific community. Why join us ?
