Simulating Robotics in the Maritime Environment

About this program

The Naval Postgraduate School, in collaboration with the National Academies of Science, Engineering, & Medicine, offers a fellowship grant to advance research in simulating robotics for maritime environments. The funding supports the development of high-fidelity simulated environments to prototype and test multi-domain robotic applications, focusing on dynamics, navigation, control, and estimation for ocean platforms. Eligibility is open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and non-U.S. citizens at the postdoctoral and senior levels, with stipends adjusted based on years of experience post-PhD. Applicants must have strong backgrounds in ocean platform fundamentals (e.g., naval architecture, hydrodynamics) and software development.
