You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where control experts, software, mechanical and electrical engineers collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.

The Dynamic Legged Systems Research unit (web:  ) is coordinated by Claudio Semini, who has extensive experience in the design and control of robots applied to Disaster Response, Agriculture and Space Exploration.

The research focuses on locomotion over rough terrain, foothold planning, whole-body control, perception, loco-manipulation, machine learning, as well as the development of the next generation quadruped robots.

For this position, we are looking for a highly motivated and proactive engineer, with expertise in software and robotics, to work on the development of the software framework and control techniques for loco-manipulation. All the work activities will be carried out under the perspective of tele-operation using quadruped robots, and centered around the INAIL Robot Teleoperativo project.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Software framework development

Software integration of modules developed in the DLS lab and other project partners

Development and improvement of algorithms to perform loco-manipulation tasks

Extend loco‑manipulation algorithms to help perform tele‑operation, using quadruped robots, for disaster response scenarios

Perform experimental tests using the various quadruped robots of the DLS lab

Lead and support field tests, lab indoor experiments, and lab demonstrations

REQUIREMENTS

A Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or Electrical/Electronic Engineering

Experience with legged robots

Experience with control algorithms for legged robots

Strong skills on C++ and Python

Strong experience with ROS, Gazebo
