Our team has an immediate 12-month contract opening for a Researcher.
Responsibilities:
Working closely with a team of experienced researchers to solve real world challenges in the domain of Embodied AI
Developing state-of-the-art approaches for Embodied AI applications. Directions include, but not limited to, generative AI, representation learning, foundation models, reasoning, planning, data generation and augmentation, reinforcement learning, and low-level control.
Translating mathematical problem definitions and model/solution specifications into efficient executable code
Conducting evaluation and empirical studies using robotic platforms in both simulation and real-world
Proposing high-impact intellectual properties (e.g., patents), and publishing or contributing to research papers in top-tier AI venues
Requirements
What you'll bring to the team:
M.Sc./ PhD degree in computer science or related fields (Exceptional candidates with Bachelor degree will be considered)
Prior experience in sequence analysis and generative AI, in particular vision and language
Proven research record in AI by having at least one paper as the first author in top tier venues, such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICRA
Proficiency in Python programming language
Experience with one or more mainstream deep learning frameworks e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow
Experience in robotics applications, in particular decision-making, planning and control, or experience with real robot and ROS is an asset
Experience with using large-scale datasets and sensor data, or with use of various transformer architectures and diffusion models is an asset
Experience with imitation and reinforcement learning algorithms is an asset
