We are seeking candidates for one postdoctoral position in the Event-Driven Perception for Robotics Research Line (EDPR) at iCub Facility under the supervision of Chiara Bartolozzi (<a href="https://www.iit.it/people/chiara-bartolozzi" class="">https://www.iit.it/people/chiara-bartolozzi</a>)
at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT).<br class="">
<br class="">
EDPR aims to induce a paradigm shift in robotics, leveraging on the emerging concept of "event-driven" sensing and processing, which captures the changing dynamics of the external world with unprecedented detail and, similarly to neural coding, uses time to encode
sensory information.<br class="">
<br class="">
The successful candidate will use the event-driven visual (event cameras) and tactile sensors present on the event-driven iCub humanoid robot, and will develop models and architectures capable of interpreting and learning from the spatio-temporal information, to
extract relevant information and plan appropriate behavior. In particular, the candidate will be in a unique position to exploit recent advances in machine learning for visual perception, in combination with novel biologically inspired sensors and the accompanying biological-grounded
learning models.<br class="">
<br class="">
We are looking for highly motivated people, with a passion to work in robotics and the skills to develop algorithms and models to make a robot interact smoothly and in real time with a highly-dynamic environment. We are looking for an inquisitive mind with
the curiosity to use the novel brain-inspired challenging technology, which requires rethinking sensory processing, active perception and control.<br class="">
