Job Description

Conduct research on embodied AI methods for humanoid robots, focusing on joint-level actuation, compliance, force interaction and energy-efficient motion

Develop learning-based and model-based control strategies that explicitly account for actuator dynamics, nonlinearities and other physical constraints

Integrate multi-modal sensing which includes closed-loop control of position, force/torque, tactile and visual feedback as well as deployment of learning control architectures such as reinforcement learning

Adapt Controller tuning transfer challenges through system identification, domain adaptation and adaptive control methods

Investigate safe and constrained learning approaches for humanoid locomotion and manipulation under uncertainty.

Integration of the mechanical transmission, actuator and control system into the humanoid robot to demonstrate the embodied intelligence

Design and conduct experimental studies using humanoid joint modules, actuation testbeds and full-body robotic platforms

JOB REQUIREMENT

Ph.D. degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Control or Mechatronics Engineering

3-5 years of work experience or similar is preferred

Fresh graduates are also encouraged to apply

We Value The Following Skills And Experience

Experience with the development and control of humanoid robotics systems

Knowledge of machine learning applications in motion control, such as reinforcement learning will be a plus
