Postdoc on Robot learning and control
- (2200007T) Commitment & contract: 2 years fixed term contract with renewal option Location: IIT - Center for Robotics and Intelligent Systems, Via S. Quirico, 19d, 16163 Genova GE.
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 be working within the Humanoid & Human Centred Mechatronics Research Line, a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group with strong expertise in robot design, modelling and control of new mechatronics components.
The Humanoid & Human Centred Mechatronics Research Line is coordinated by Nikos Tsagarakis, who has extensive experience in Robotics and Mechatronics and Control.
The research concentrates on robot design exploring state of art design approaches (structural, actuation and transmission systems) combined with advancements in control including whole body loco-manipulation generation, balancing regulation, physical interaction and teleoperation control.

The selected candidate will be in charge of the development of new algorithms for achieving autonomous loco-manipulation capabilities for an new legged mobile manipulation platform under development as well as for a range of robotic platforms (CENTAURO, COMAN+) using online/offline machine learning methods and assisting in the design and development of a cross-platform control framework that transparently bridges model-based and data-driven control methods
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS We are looking for highly motivated, outstanding scientist with a background and PhD in Robotics or Software Engineering and strong background and interest in data-driven, machine learning control techniques and their practical application to robot loco-manipulation control.

The ideal candidate should also possess:
Strong academic and solid engineering background with hands-on experience in designing and developing autonomous control systems.

Excellent understanding and solid experience with Deep Learning and differential programming frameworks (e.g.
TensorFlow, Pytorch), PCL, OpenCV, Cloud infrastructure, dataset collection and management, CUDA and parallel computing methods.

Solid understanding and hands on experience with robot modeling, motion planning and control (kinematics and dynamics, path planning, dynamic simulation and control software components)
Excellent knowledge and practical experience with designing, implementing and testing classical or machine learning based control methods on robotic systems.

Outstanding SW development and programming skills in C++, Python, ROS tools and libraries.

ADDITIONAL SKILLS Experience from simulation to physical robot transfer for complex robotic platforms
Hands on experience with floating base robots
Strong problem solving attitude and analytical thinking
Flexible and creative team player with the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment
High motivation to learn
Good communication skills in English
Good in time and priority management
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.
They guide us to accomplish IIT mission

If you feel this tickles your appetite for change, do not hesitate and apply
