Research Fellow in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

University of Leeds - Faculty of Engineering & Physical Sciences - School of Computing

Location: Leeds
Salary: £38,205 to £45,585 per annum (Grade 7)
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 2nd September 2024
Closes: 30th September 2024
Job Ref: EPSCP1158

Are you a researcher interested in developing robots that can reason about the physics of the world i.e. how objects move when a robot interacts with them? Do you have an established background in robotic manipulation? Do you want to gain experience in one of the most important technologies of the future: robotic picking and packing systems in warehouses?

In this EPSRC-funded project, you will develop planning, control, and learning algorithms for robotic manipulators. These algorithms will reason about the physics of mixed multi-object systems (e.g. a mix of items in an online delivery box). You will investigate methods to efficiently predict/simulate/learn the physics of such multi-object systems. You will integrate robotic arms, grippers, suction cups, visual, force, and tactile sensors into a complete system that can use such physics-based predictions to perform real-world picking and packing operations.

You will be a leading researcher in Dr Mehmet Dogar’s group focusing on physics-based robotic manipulation. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with our academic partners (including ETH Zurich, UC Berkeley, TU Hamburg, German Aerospace Agency and Bristol University) to develop the algorithms and systems and, test the developed approaches in real warehouse settings (our industrial partners include Amazon Robotics).

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
