Underwater manipulation using a Bluerov 2

In this project, you will develop algorithms for underwater manipulation using a bluerov2 and an underwater robotic manipulator (Blueprint alpha) using reinforcement learning. The system developed should be compatible with ROS and can be tested in simulation first befre being validated on a real robot in our underwater tank. You will work as part of a team and be co-supervised by experienced PhDs, Post-Docs and Engineers.

Required skills:
- C/C++ programming skills, Python is a plus
- Experience with ROS, experience with Gazebo is a plus
