+ | |||
+ | With our new project FAME, we aim to lay the groundwork for robots that achieve the competence level of humans in the area of everyday manipulation tasks. | ||
+ | In pursuit of this goals, FAME will investigate the hypothesis that a knowledge representation and reasoning (KR&R) framework based on explicitly represented and machine-interpretable inner-world models can enable robots to contextualize underdetermined manipulation task requests. | ||
+ | With cutting-edge laboratories and data infrastructure FAME offers attractive workplaces, diverse and responsible tasks, and a wide scope of advanced training options. | ||
+ | We offer two PostDoc positions (salary scale TV-L 14 - 100%) at the next possible date for the period of three years with the possibility of a two-year extension. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Research tasks:** | ||
