箔片无人机博士研究生岗位
代尔夫特理工大学Delft University of Technology
Delft · 荷兰
01项目概览
该研究项目专注于FoilDrone系统的开发,这是一种自主的风力驱动无人机,具备空中与水下运行能力,可用于有效的海上监视任务。主要任务包括多体动力学建模、空气动力效率优化,以及通过模拟与现场测试进行实验验证。申请者应具有航空航天工程或相关领域的背景知识。
02研究内容
职位说明:
您是否准备好塑造自主海上安全领域的未来?我们正在寻找一位充满动力且才华横溢的博士候选人,以引领关于FoilDrone系统的前沿研究——这一创新的、具有未来适应性的海上监控概念。
项目背景与任务目标
海洋领域感知技术是全球重要的优先领域。传统的监视方式存在重大局限性:空中无人机虽然速度极快,但续航时间极短(6至22小时);而无人水面船(如Saildrone)虽然续航时间长,但航行速度非常慢(3至5节),且无法看到地平线以外的景象。
FoilDrone系统通过将空中垂直起降(VTOL)旋转翼滑翔机与水下系留水翼结合在一起,从而填补了这一市场空白,完全消除了运行过程中的推进动力消耗。
主要职责与研究重点
作为博士候选人,您将负责 FoilDrone 研究下一阶段的推进工作。您将通过独立研究、模拟与实验,将设计概念从理论层面转化为实际实现。您的核心职责包括:
先进多体动力学与控制研究:通过灵活的绳索连接飞行器与水下翼型,进一步完善并扩展仿真模型。优化独立控制策略,以确保在关键过渡阶段(如移动、展开、航行及恢复)的稳定性。
空气动力与水动力优化:研究固定翼无人机、缆绳与水翼之间的复杂相互作用,并在不同海况和风干扰条件下优化空气动力及水动力性能。
实验验证:将理论模型转化为实际硬件。与技术人员及学生团队合作,设计风洞实验、拖曳池测试及开放水域飞行试验,以验证结构完整性、部署机制及控制策略。
学术贡献:在知名国际期刊上发表高影响科学论文,在全球航空航天与海洋会议上展示研究成果,并协助指导硕士及学士学生的论文项目。
03申请条件
职位要求:
教育背景:持有航空航天工程、机器人技术、控制系统或相关学科领域的理学硕士学位。
技术专长:在飞行动力学、多体系统建模、制导与导航控制(GNC)领域具有深厚的背景知识。
仿真技能:证明具备在数值仿真环境(如 MATLAB/Simulink、Python)中处理航空或水下系统问题的能力。
研究动力:对学术研究、实验验证及自主系统具有浓厚兴趣,并具备在同行评审期刊上发表研究成果的成熟能力。
合作与沟通能力:具备出色的英语写作与口语沟通能力,具有协作精神,能够与跨学科学术及工业合作伙伴共同工作。
实践经验:具备构建、组装或维护(固定翼)无人机(UAVs)和/或海洋气垫船系统的实际经验,包括复合材料制造与机械集成技术。
