Job Description
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking for an Embodied AI Scientist to conduct fundamental and applied research in humanoid robotics, with a particular emphasis on actuator-centric embodied intelligence. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of learning-enabled control and decision-making frameworks that are deeply integrated with the physical dynamics, sensing and actuation of humanoid robotic systems. You are expected to work in a multidisciplinary research group spanning robotics, control, artificial intelligence and mechatronic system
JOB DESCRIPTION
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 incl...
