Junior Professor Chair (CPJ): Wireless Power Transfer × Mobile Robotics
This chair targets a well-defined and still largely unexplored research niche: the interface between Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) for the dynamic charging of electric vehicles and optimal trajectory control for mobile robotics.
What the position offers
• A structured five-year research program (five work packages), leading from initial scientific positioning to an integrated demonstrator that combines a dynamic WPT system with a robotic platform.
• Guaranteed funding of €1 million over the lifetime of the chair, on top of the standard CPJ package, to recruit PhD students and postdoctoral researchers and to build dedicated test infrastructure. Full project proposal The proposal covers the scientific positioning, work program and timeline, as well as the available collaboration formats: joint research projects, co-supervision of PhD students, participation in an informal scientific advisory committee, or a direct application to the chair.
