Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct research on embodied AI methods for humanoid robots, focusing on joint-level actuation, compliance, force interaction and energy-efficient motion Develop learning-based and model-based control strategies that explicitly account for actuator dynamics, nonlinearities and other physical constraints Integrate multi-modal sensing which includes closed-loop control of position, force/torque, tactile and visual feedback as well as deployment of learning control architectures such as reinforcement learning Adapt Controller tuning transfer challenges through system identification, domain adaptation and adaptive control methods Investigate safe and constrained learning approaches for humanoid locomotion and manipulation under uncertainty.
  • Integration of the mechanical transmission, actuator and control system into the humanoid robot to demonstrate the embodied intelligence Design and conduct experimental studies using humanoid joint modules, actuation testbeds and full-body robotic platforms JOB REQUIREMENT Ph.D.
  • Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Control or Mechatronics Engineering 3-5 years of work experience or similar is preferred Fresh graduates are also encouraged to apply

Requirements

  • Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Control or Mechatronics Engineering
