Project: Ergo-Lean

Commitment & contract: collaborator, 2 years temporary contract 

Location: Center for Robotics and Intelligent Systems (CRIS) @IIT, Via San Quirico 19d, 16163 Genova (GE), Italia

WHO WE ARE

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 inter-connected with the other 11 centres around Italy and two outstations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience. 

YOUR TEAM

You’d be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where biomedical, mechanical, automation, and electrical engineers, computational scientists and computer technician collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research within the EU project Ergo Lean (funded by the European Union's H2020 Programme with Grant Agreement 850932)

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

Within the team, 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, and preparation of grants and support of the general activities of the lab.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

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 (specifically git) A strong publication record The ability to properly report, organize and publish research data Documented experience in coaching junior scientists Good command of spoken and written English

ADDITIONAL SKILLS

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 Ability to work in a challenging and international environment  Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment

COMPENSATION PACKAGE

Salary package in line with international standards  Private health care coverage (depending on your role and contract) Wide range of staff discounts
