Research Associate – Vision-based Perception for Human-Robot Collaboration
We are looking for a full-time post-doctoral research associate to investigate human-robot collaboration to explore unstructured environments for inspection, repair, and maintenance. You will conduct research on designing robotic perception of environments through vision and providing suitable visual guidance to facilitate human-robot collaboration, whether they are remotely operating a robot or collaborating closely with one in a proximal setting. You will work with physical robot platforms and design visual feedback to provide guidance on human operations. This will encompass computer vision, object detection, visual feedback design, robotic control, and conducting user studies. You will be expected to publish at world-leading refereed conferences and journals, and demonstrate research outcomes on real robot platforms.
The role will also require regular contributions to a variety of academic tasks, including positively interacting and communicating with internal and external stakeholders, developing research proposals, management of research projects, supervising PhD, Master and undergraduate students, demonstrating research excellence and leadership to more junior members in the research lab.
