SDU Robotics currently has one or more 3-year postdoc positions open with focus on skill learning and transfer. The purpose of the research is to transfer skills from humans to robots by demonstration and develop a framework where humans can modify the task online. The skill learning will include learning the varying human compliance parameters during demonstration to facilitate learning of tasks involving compliance control. The skill transfer should be applied in industrial applications; hence, it needs to be robust and implemented in an embedded system. The postdoc positions are for 3 years. The starting date for the positions is 1 September 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter and will be agreed with the successful candidates.
The application deadline is 3 June 2024 at 11.59 PM/23.59 (CET/CEST)
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. 50 researchers, specialized in robot solutions involving modelling, simulation, and control of advanced robot technologies (systems and services) for industrial, medical and welfare applications. 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 of individual development.
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 130+ 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 as Universal Robots, LEGO, national hospitals, and Novo Nordisk.
