Job Description

The goal of the position is to create prediction methods for proactive planning of future robot actions and to design robot acting mechanisms for adaptive response ranging from quick and intuitive to slower well-reasoned. We combine sensing across multiple modalities with learned knowledge to predict outcomes and choose the best actions. The goal is to transfer these skills to human-robot interaction in home scenarios, including the support of everyday tasks and physical rehabilitation. It is relevant to work with implementation and research within robot perception and control for the robot tasks. User studies through human-robot interaction experiments are to be performed.

Requirements

Applicants must have a MSc (for the PhD fellowship) or a PhD degree (for the Postdoc position) or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian MSc/doctoral degree in computer science
robotics
computational psychology or other relevant field. Applicants should have a strong background in programming
as well as machine learning/artificial intelligence and robotics. Skills in psychology-inspired computing models
working with different types of real-world sensor data
multimodal sensor data processing/classification
addressing ethical challenges
perception and control are considered advantageous. Collaboration skills would also be assessed.
