Descrizione

Postdoc or Research Assistant positions in Modeling and Control of Continuum/Soft Robot at SDU Robotics Sintesi in italiano (traduzione automatica): SDU Robotics, parte dell'Istituto Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller dell'Università della Danimarca del Sud, cerca candidati per posizioni di postdoc o assistente di ricerca nel campo della robotica morbida e continua con applicazioni chirurgiche. Le posizioni sono per un anno, con sede principale a Odense, Danimarca. I candidati lavoreranno su sensori, modellazione e controllo di robot chirurgici, integrando tecnologie di rilevamento e sviluppando algoritmi di controllo. È richiesta una laurea magistrale per l'assistente di ricerca e un dottorato per il postdoc, con un background in robotica, ingegneria meccanica, ingegneria elettrica o informatica. È fondamentale avere conoscenze in programmazione di sistemi embedded, analisi di immagini mediche e controllo dei robot. È apprezzata la pubblicazione in riviste di robotica e la conoscenza dell'inglese è essenziale. SDU Robotics , part of the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute , University of Southern Denmark (SDU), invites applications for one or more postdoc or research assistant positions, where the candidates will work on the sensing, modeling and control of soft/continuum robotics with surgical applications. The positions are for one year and the starting date will be agreed with the successful candidates. The workplace is at SDU's main campus in Odense, Denmark, and the work is expected to be primarily onsite. What we offer An exciting opportunity to work at the cutting edge of robotics for real-world applications. A collaborative and supportive work environment that encourages innovation and creativity. Opportunities for professional growth and leadership. Access to state-of-the-art technology and resources. Job description The successful candidate will work on Sensing and AI-Based Control of Continuum Surgical Robots. This task focuses on advanced sensing, perception, and intelligent control of continuum surgical robotic systems. Responsibilities include: Integration of different sensing technologies (camera, Electromagnetic tracking system, FBG sensing) with continuum robotic systems and development of associated sensing and estimation algorithms 3D environment reconstruction based on vision Visual servoing Development of AI-based control methods for continuum robots. Validation and experimental evaluation of control algorithms on robotic platforms Profile and requirements The candidates will participate in SDU Robotics’ comprehensive research and teaching activities within the areas of medical/surgical robotics, artificial intelligence, and control. The position as research assistant requires a master’s degree and the position as postdoc requires a PhD degree. In both cases an educational background within robotics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science or similar area is required. The candidate is expected to have a profound knowledge on the majority of the following topics: Embedded systems programming Robot Operating System (ROS) experience Medical imaging analysis Robot control Artificial intelligence Mechanical prototyping Previous publications in major robotics journals or conferences are a plus. Furthermore, the successful candidate is expected to: Have excellent knowledge of English (written and spoken). Be able to work well and communicate expert knowledge in an interdisciplinary team. Have high self-motivation to learn. Have the ability of working independently. Have a strong sense of responsibility. Research environment SDU Robotics is involved in a variety of national and European projects and features a strong network of academic and industrial partners. We are a team of currently appr. 60 researchers and engineers specialized in research and development of robot solutions and advanced robot systems within the medical, welfare and industrial domain. SDU Robotics is part of the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute , University of Southern Denmark (SDU), and located at the main Campus in Odense, at the core of the Odense Robotics Cluster involving 120+ startups and established companies in robotics. The aim of the group is to solve challenging research problems derived from real-life challenges by implementing novel robot solutions. We participate in implementing the achieved results in real solutions with end users like national hospitals, Universal Robots, LEGO, and Novo Nordisk. We value teamwork, professional diligence, enthusiasm for robotics and the drive to adopt new skills and extended responsibilities. We offer an open, international team with flexible work organization and support for individual development. We look forward to receiving your application and to supporting your academic growth as a researcher in SDU Robotics.
