WHO WE ARE
At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society. Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centres around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
YOUR TEAM
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
Good experience with version control (Git)
Good experience with Linux OSStrong knowledge on robotics
Knowledge on system modelling
Knowledge on classical and non‑linear control theory
Good communication skills and ability/willingness to integrate within a multidisciplinary international research group
Good command in spoken and written English
Further desirable but not necessary skills include good knowledge of Optimal Control, Model Predictive Controllers (MPC), and optimal robot motion planning.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Competitive salary package for international standards
Wide range of staff discounts
Please submit your application using the online form and include a detailed CV, university transcripts, cover letter (outlining motivation, experience and qualifications) and contact details of 2 references.
