Researcher for Textile Analysis and Manipulation
The Role
We are currently seeking a highly motivated and skilled researcher to join our dynamic team in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Immersive Technologies.
As a Researcher in AI, computer vision and robotics, you will be actively involved in advancing textile manipulation through cutting-edge robotics, deep learning, and computer vision. The focus of this position is on developing innovative approaches for robotic cloth folding, unfolding, and handling tasks. Using state-of-the-art techniques such as reinforcement learning, neural networks, and real-time visual recognition, you will contribute to new solutions in automation for textile processing, bringing our project’s vision closer to real-world application.
The Person
You will have a PhD or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, with a focus on machine learning, computer vision, or robotic manipulation.
You will also have proven experience in deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and computer vision tools with a strong knowledge of reinforcement learning and practical experience with robotic systems.
You will have excellent academic writing skills demonstrated through publications in reputable conferences/journals and have the ability to work collaboratively in a team and lead research initiatives.
The Faculty
The Faculty of Engineering, Computing & the Environment (ECE) is among the most diverse in the UK, offering a wide range of subjects that encourage cross-discipline innovation. Our academics are experts, deeply engaged in research, which they bring into their teaching.
