Research Associate (Thermal Camera InertialOdometry)

Centre for Advanced Robotics Technology Innovation (CARTIN) are seeking a Research Associate to develop thermal-inertial odometry for robotics in dark or smoky environments. The Research Associate will work with thermal cameras and IMU to enable reliable pose tracking in fire-response applications. Experience in thermal-inertial odometry, thermal imaging, and ROS1 / 2 is expected.

Key Responsibilities :

• Develop feature-based or learning-based thermal-inertial odometry pipelines.
• Extract motion cues from thermal camera sequences under varying conditions.
• Calibrate and synchronize IMU and thermal data streams.
• Benchmark odometry accuracy and drift in low-visibility fire simulation environments.
• Support integration with mapping and SLAM subsystems.
