Job Details:
Applications are being accepted for a postdoctoral position in dynamic
robotic manipulation. This NSF-sponsored project is studying
mechanics and simulation, motion planning, control theory, and
experimental validation of dynamically dexterous robots. The goal is
to develop theory to support automatic planning and feedback control
of dynamic manipulation modes such as rolling, sliding, throwing and
catching, and juggling.
The ideal candidate would have background in one or more of the
following areas: simulation of rigid bodies in contact, robot motion
planning, control theory, hybrid systems, and experimental systems
including real-time operating systems.
The expected duration of the postdoctoral position is two years,
with other durations possible. The position is available immediately.
To apply, email a brief cover letter describing your professional
interests and future goals, a CV, and contact information for three
references to Prof. Kevin Lynch, EMAIL OBFUSCATED. All
documents should be in pdf format.
