Project: Ergo-Lean

As a post-doc researcher at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, you will be part of a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group working on the development of control and machine learning for mobile collaborative robots in interactive tasks.

The research focuses on the development of adaptive and robust controllers and deep reinforcement learning for control of mobile collaborative robots in interactive tasks, in particular with humans.

Your main responsibilities will be:

  • Theoretical and hands-on research on control and ML for HRI using fixed- and mobile-base collaborative robots
  • Testing and validation of the algorithms and hardware solutions
  • Supervision of PhD and MSc students
  • Preparation of grants and support of the general activities of the lab

Essential requirements include a PhD degree with a strong background in one or multiple of the following topics: robot planning and control and physical human-robot interaction, strong skills on C++ and Python, experience with ROS, confidence with version control tools, a strong publication record, and the ability to properly report, organize and publish research data.

Additional skills include experience with environmental, wearable and biomarkers sensing devices, good communication skills, strong problem-solving attitude, high motivation to learn, spirit of innovation and creativity, good at time and priority management, and ability to work in a challenging and international environment.

Compensation package includes a salary package in line with international standards, private health care coverage, and wide range of staff discounts.

At Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, we value equality, inclusivity, and multiculturalism, and we encourage you to mingle and discover what other people are up to in our labs.

We have a specialized team working to help you with paperwork, especially during your relocation, and we nurture and guide your attitude and aspirations if you are a startupper or business-minded person.

We stick to our values: Integrity, courage, societal responsibility, and inclusivity, and we believe in making a real impact in society.
