AI-Integrated Robotics Post-Doc Position Open at NYU Abu Dhabi

A groundbreaking opportunity has emerged for a proficient AI-Integrated Robotics Post-Doctoral Associate. The successful candidate will be joining a team of pioneers in the field, with a focus on the development of state-of-the-art robotic systems. This role is ideally suited to a candidate with a robust background in robotics, machine learning, and computer vision.

The position requires the associate to conduct research, engineer advanced robotic vision algorithms, and incorporate cutting-edge language models such as GPT-4 to facilitate human-like communication in robotic applications. A thorough understanding of ROS application development is essential, and experience with robotic arms, Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), and quadruped robots is highly advantageous.

The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in a related field and will have a strong publication record in prestigious conferences such as ICRA, CoRL, and RSS. The candidate will conduct research in AI-integrated robotics, focusing on innovative approaches to solve complex problems in robotic systems.

In this role, the associate will be responsible for developing and implementing advanced robotic vision algorithms to enhance the robot’s perception and understanding of its environment. The integration of GPT-generated human-like communication capabilities in robotic applications is also a key aspect of this role, enabling more intuitive and natural interactions with humans.

The associate will develop, test, and deploy ROS-based applications to control and monitor robotic systems, ensuring efficient and reliable operation. This role also involves collaboration with a multidisciplinary team to design, develop, and optimize robotic systems, including robotic arms, UGVs, and quadruped robots.

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Solid understanding of GPT-based language models and their integration in robotic applications is required. Proficiency in ROS application development and deployment is also key, including experience with ROS-based robotic systems.

Programming skills in languages such as Python or C++ are essential. The candidate should also possess strong problem-solving, analytical, and critical thinking skills. The ability to work effectively in a team and to communicate complex technical concepts clearly is also important.

This position offers an exceptional opportunity for those passionate about robotics and AI to push the boundaries of what is possible. As a Postdoctoral Researcher in AI-integrated robotics, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a team of experts and make a significant impact in the field. The terms of employment are highly competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children.

Applications are currently being accepted, and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. To apply, candidates must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with a full publication list, statement of research interests, and contact information of at least two references, all in PDF format.
