Postdoctoral Position in Simulation-Based Adaptation: The Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen is seeking a highly motivated and skilled individual for a two-year postdoctoral position, with the possibility of further extension. The successful candidate will be involved in developing cutting-edge robot automation and adaptation techniques using simulation and machine learning methods.
Postdoctoral Position in Simulation-Based Adaptation for Robotic Data Reuse
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area:
Simulation-Based Adaptation for Robotic Data Reuse, Digital Manufacturing, and Smart Engineering.
Location:
University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD in Computer Science, Mechanical/Electronic/Automation Engineering, or Applied Mathematics/Physics with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence/Robotics.
- Strong foundation in robotics, machine learning, and/or dynamic simulation.
- Proficiency in C++/Python or other programming languages for building and maintaining software packages.
- Familiarity with robotics simulators such as Issac Sim/MuJoCo will be advantageous.
Job Description:
The successful candidate will engage in developing novel robot automation and adaptation techniques using simulation and machine learning methods. This unique opportunity focuses on two significant challenges:
- Creating algorithms to process previous manufacturing data of various formats and transfer robot motion to fit new task requirements and setup.
- Using simulation to synthesize task data, validate and refine robot motion with model-based learning/optimization.
The role demands a strong foundation in robot learning and control, and a keen interest in applying simulation-based machine learning techniques to solve complex and practice-oriented challenges in digital manufacturing. The candidate will be expected to contribute significantly to the research objectives, demonstrating both technical expertise and collaborative skills.
