Description
We are looking for an innovative and experienced AI-Integrated Robotics Post-Doctoral Associate to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in robotics, machine learning, and computer vision, with a focus on developing advanced robotic systems. You will be responsible for conducting research, developing cutting-edge robotic vision algorithms, and integrating state-of-the-art language models like GPT-4 to create human-like communication in robotic applications. Proficiency in ROS applications development is required, and experience with robotic arms, UGVs, and quadruped robots is highly desirable. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in a related field and a strong publication record in prestigious conferences such as ICRA, CoRL, and RSS.
Key Responsibilities:
Conduct research in AI-integrated robotics, focusing on novel approaches to solve complex problems in robotic systems.
Develop and implement advanced robotic vision algorithms to enhance the perception and understanding of the robot's environment.
Integrate GPT-generated human-like communication capabilities in robotic applications, enabling more intuitive and natural interactions with humans.
Develop, test, and deploy ROS-based applications to control and monitor robotic systems, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to design, develop, and optimize robotic systems, including robotic arms, UGVs, and quadruped robots.
Qualifications:
The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted immediately, and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. To be considered, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with a full publication list, statement of research interests, and contact information of at least two references, all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please email Yi Fang at yfang@nyu.edu
