ABOUT US

At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society. Our Genoa headquarters are strictly interconnected with the other 11 centers around Italy and two outstations based in the US. We promote excellence in basic and applied research such as neuroscience and cognition, humanoid technologies and robotics, nanotechnology, materials for a truly multidisciplinary scientific experience.

YOUR TEAM

You will carry out research in the context of the FAIR project funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research as part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). The FAIR partnership constitutes a research network of 14 universities, 4 research bodies and 7 companies spread across Italy. Organized according to the "Hub & Spoke" model, each of 10 Spokes addresses a critical aspect of future AI development as reliability, sustainability, adaptivity. IIT coordinates Spoke 10 (Sustainable and Bio-Socio-Cognitive AI).

Within this project, you will join the Humanoid Sensing and Perception research group, with the goal of studying how to deploy latest large vision-language models into autonomous agents. Large vision-language models today exhibit impressive reasoning capabilities leveraging on Internet data for their training. In this project we seek to investigate how to ground semantic knowledge from these models into the physical world, identifying missing information and complement it with the robot's experience to enable action in open scenarios. We will target the application scenarios involving multi-modal object manipulation with anthropomorphic hands.

Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:

Study, devise and implement multi-modal models for object perception and control of object manipulation; Research relevant topics; propose, implement and benchmark effective solutions on real robotic platforms; Coordination and collaboration with the activities of other team members in order to meet deliverables and disseminate the research.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

A PhD in relevant field (machine learning, robotics, computer science or equivalent); Knowledge of programming languages like Python or C/C++; A strong publication record; The ability to properly organize, report and publish scientific and technical papers; Good command in spoken and written English.

ADDITIONAL SKILLS

Documented experience working with real robotic systems; Experience working with modern machine learning methods as Transformers; Experience in robot control, grasping and or machine vision; Experience with open source robotics software, simulators (e.g. Gazebo) and middleware (e.g. ROS/YARP); Good communication skills; Strong problem solving attitude; High motivation to learn; Spirit of innovation and creativity; Good in time and priority management; Documented experience in coaching junior scientists; Ability to work in a challenging and international environment; Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment.

COMPENSATION PACKAGE

Competitive salary package for international standards Private health care coverage Wide range of staff discounts Candidates from abroad or Italian citizens who permanently work abroad and meet specific requirements, may be entitled to a deduction from taxable income of up to 90% from 6 to 13 years.

WHAT'S IN FOR YOU?

An equal, inclusive and multicultural environment ready to welcome you with open arms. Discrimination is a big NO for us We like contamination and encourage you to mingle and discover what other people are up to in our labs If paperwork is not your piece of cake, we got you There's a specialized team working to help you with that, especially during your relocation If you are a startupper or a business-minded person, you will find some exceptionally gifted professionals ready to nurture and guide your attitude and aspirations. If you want your work to have a real impact, in IIT you will find an innovative and stimulating culture that drives our mission to contribute to the improvement and well-being of society We stick to our values Integrity, courage, societal responsibility and inclusivity are the values we believe in They define us and our actions in our everyday life.
