Postdoc on Legged Locomotion Control

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, working on legged locomotion control for humanoid robots.

This position is part of 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 selected candidate will be responsible for developing new algorithms for achieving robust and autonomous legged locomotion and loco-manipulation controllers for a range of robotic systems, from mobile manipulation platforms to legged robot platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop control systems for legged robots in diverse environments and crowded areas.
  • Conduct research on legged locomotion modeling, trajectory generation, footstep planning, and balancing control.
  • Collaborate with the team to develop control frameworks and tools for legged robots.
  • Implement and test control algorithms on humanoid robots.

Requirements:

  • PhD in Robotics, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong background and interest in legged locomotion and robot loco-manipulation control.
  • Excellent academic and engineering background with hands-on experience in designing and developing control systems.
  • Strong experience in whole body manipulation control, QP-based dynamic controllers, and linear and non-linear MPC.
  • Expertise in physical interaction control, contact detection, and reaction, and impedance control.

What We Offer:

  • A competitive salary package for international standards.
  • Private health care coverage.
  • Wide range of staff discounts.
  • Opportunity to work in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary environment with a highly experienced team.
