Project: Future Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR), a collaborative initiative between Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia and other leading research institutions in Italy. The project aims to develop and apply foundation models for robotics, with a focus on sustainable and bio-socio-cognitive AI.

As a postdoctoral researcher in this project, you will contribute to the development of novel multi-modal models for object perception and control of object manipulation. You will work closely with the Humanoid Sensing and Perception research group to investigate how to ground semantic knowledge from large vision-language models into the physical world.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in machine learning, robotics, or computer science, with experience in programming languages like Python or C/C++. A strong publication record and good communication skills are also essential.

The compensation package includes a competitive salary, private health care coverage, and a wide range of staff discounts. Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia offers a dynamic and inclusive work environment, with a strong emphasis on innovation and creativity.

Key responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement multi-modal models for object perception and control of object manipulation
  • Conduct research on relevant topics and propose effective solutions on real robotic platforms
  • Collaborate with team members to meet deliverables and disseminate research results

Additional skills:

  • Documented experience working with real robotic systems
  • Experience with modern machine learning methods, such as Transformers
  • Experience in robot control, grasping, and machine vision
  • Experience with open-source robotics software, simulators, and middleware

Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia is committed to promoting excellence in basic and applied research, with a focus on human-centered science and technology. We offer a stimulating work environment, with opportunities for professional growth and development.
