THE ROLE
You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where junior and senior scientists collaborate, each with their expertise, to carry out a scientific activity with a shared research goal.
The Artificial Mechanical and Intelligence Research line is coordinated by Dr. Daniele Pucci. You will contribute to the joint laboratory between IIT and Camozzi. Camozzi Automation is a global leader in designing and producing motion and fluid control components, systems, and technologies for Industrial automation, transportation, and life science industries. The IIT-Camozzi joint laboratory conducts research and development in robotics and control applied to smart grippers and actuators.
Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:
* To design control algorithms for enabling autonomous grasping with the grippers by resorting to cutting-edge AI tools for the embedded domain.
* To address grasping scenarios of increasing complexity (e.g., with and without clutter, bin picking vs. affordance-based grasping).
* To deploy production code on the embedded control boards with model-based techniques.
* To design and execute experiments for the validation of algorithms and models.
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS
* Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, control engineering or related fields
* Basic knowledge of machine-learning and control methodologies
* Strong focus on stakeholder needs and expectations
* Good command of spoken and written English
ADDITIONAL SKILLS
* Experience with robot middleware systems such as ROS, ROS2, OPC UA, or YARP
* Basic knowledge of electronics, mechanical engineering, and control
* Basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, and robotics foundations
* Experience with programming languages such as C/C++, Python
* Experience with embedded software development
* Experience with simulation tools
* Ability to work in a challenging and international environment
* Capacity to work autonomously and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment
* Analytical reasoning skills and a growth mindset
COMPENSATION PACKAGE
* Competitive salary package for international standards (Salary can include bonus option depending on your role and contract).
