+ | **PhD candidate (f/m/d) in the ERC Advanced Grant project FAME: Open-Ended Manipulation Task Learning with FAME (Future-oriented cognitive Action Modelling Engine)** | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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 three research positions for scientific qualification with the aim of obtaining a doctoral degree (salary scale TV-L 13 - 100%) at the next possible date for the period of three years. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Research tasks:** | ||
+ | * Interpretation and analysis of instructional videos on manipulation tasks (e.g. Wikihow videos) | ||
+ | * Modular and transparent robot plans for simple meal preparation tasks | ||
+ | * Learning and representation of, or reasoning with " | ||
+ | * Simulation of cooking processes and derivation of generalized probabilistic models | ||
+ | * Automated programming of robot plans for the acquisition of manipulation skills | ||
+ | * Integration of existing information systems with modern knowledge processing technologies | ||
+ | * Human-machine interaction techniques for knowledge services based on modern entertainment software technologies | ||
+ | * Design and implementation of knowledge services of the Knowledge4Retail platform | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Your ideal profile:** | ||
+ | * University degree in Computer Science (Master, Diploma) or a comparable degree | ||
+ | * Outstanding academic achievements e.g. in the field of robotics, AI, perception, programming, | ||
+ | * Profound knowledge in the development of complex software systems, ideally in the field of robotics | ||
+ | * Substantial know-how on AI methods in robotic applications | ||
+ | * Excellent programming skills: the programming languages used include, for example: Python, C ++, LISP, Prolog | ||
+ | * Ability to communicate proficiently in English | ||
