Research Scientist, Sensor and Systems Robotics (PhD)

Job description

The Sensor and Systems Research group at Reality Labs Research is seeking a Robotics Research Scientist to drive foundational and applied research aimed at advancing state-of-the-art robotic architectures, dynamic in-hand manipulation, generalizable dexterous and functional manipulation, as well as tactile and multimodal sensing and perception. In this position, you will collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of researchers and engineers to push the boundaries of robotics science and technology. Responsibilities: Explore forward-looking ways and novel robotic architectures to advance dynamic in-hand manipulation, generalizable dexterous and functional manipulation (rigid to deformable objects in-hand to against the environment) - Research novel sensors, robotic systems architectures, planning and control algorithms that involve tactile and multimodal vision and perception, dexterous manipulation and collision avoidance - Develop machine learning models and end-to-end applications for robotics, dexterous manipulation, and contextual understanding - Invent novel paradigms for robotics sensing and intelligence, leveraging a variety of sensing and machine perception modaliti...
