Dynamic Motion Generation of Multi-link Robots for Manufacturing

We are looking for an outstanding candidate to join the cutting-edge robotics research carried on at the Real Robotic Lab (www.realrobotics.co.uk) at the University of Leeds. You will work in a world class robotic research environment supported by £1M+ of robotic hardware and complemented with ANYmal robot (www.anybotics.com), several Unitree quadrupedal robots including Aliengo, Laikago and A1 (www.unitree.com).

You will contribute to advance understanding in one or more of following research areas within the Real Robotics Lab:

·        Design and development of dynamic actuators for multi-link robots

·        Dynamic motion generation for multi-link robots with model-based optimization

·        Robust and safe human-robot interaction for manufacturing tasks

The candidate will be responsible for the design, development, implementation and evaluation of multi-link robots in realistic manufacturing tasks, in physical simulations and on the real robots within the university. Other activities will include analyzing and summarizing research results into high-quality peer-reviewed scientific publications, traveling for research meetings with our collaborators and for presenting research results at conferences worldwide, participating in outreach activities to engage the broader community into science and engineering.
