Directions and Maps of Charles Square Campus of CTU
|
Finding the CTU campus at Karlovo namesti 13 (charles Square) is easy. Karlovo namesti is a large rectangular park. Travel by metro (line B) to station Karlovo namesti. There are two exits from this station. Take the exit closer to the city center, labelled Karlovo namesti. (The second exit leads to Palackeho namesti; when you appear less than 100 meters from Vltava river then you are on the wrong side). The entrance to the campus is in a yellowish Renaissance Revival building from 1860 on the corner of Karlovo namesti and Resslova street. You will appear in the underpass after leaving the metro area. One of the underpass exits leads to the corner of the CTU building. The direction is roughly diagonally left from metro exit. If there is a bakery shop on your right hand side in the underpass then it is the correct exit. Climb up the stairs and you will see the entrance to CTU directly in front of you. |

Open Positions
If you are interested in working within the Computational Robotics Lab, please read the following carefully.
Most of the positions are for CTU, FEE students in the form of internships, final thesis theme, semestral projects, and occasionally with working agreement depending on the research and related project. Those who are interested in collaboration with us and are from abroad, please attached your CV, transcripts, and a draft of your expected research ideas that fit our research topics.
Positions for CTU, FEE Students
There are several specific positions, but it is also possible to specify the topic later. The general topics of our interests are mostly related to
- Locomotion control of multi-legged robotics
- Asymptotically optimal or near-optimal motion planning for complex robotic systems
- Multi-goal trajectory planning for aerial vehicles
- Autonomous navigation of unmanned ground vehicles
- Unsupervised learning in multi-goal planning and cost traversal assessment
- Online and incremental learning from data streams
- Multi-robot and multi-agent collaborative planning using distributed and decentralized approaches
