THE ROLE
The Humanoids & Human Centred Mechatronics Research Unit is seeking an exceptional and highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to develop advanced perception and autonomous manipulation methods for mobile robotic systems operating in complex, dynamic environments
The successful candidate will contribute to the development of perception-to-action capabilities that enable robots to understand their surroundings, localize objects, reason about scene geometry and semantics, and perform autonomous manipulation and navigation tasks. The work will focus on bridging robust perception, 3D scene understanding, object and environment representation, for enabling autonomous m
