Postdoc at Stanford AI Lab in Robot Learning at SAIL-Toyota AI Research Center

SAIL-Toyota AI Research Center in Collaboration with the Stanford Vision and Learning Group (SVL) is looking for a postdoctoral scholar to help lead research projects in Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning & Robotics.
The Stanford-Toyota Research Center brings together researchers from fields such as visual computing, machine learning, robotics, human-computer interactions, intelligent systems, decision making, natural language processing, and dynamic modeling and design. The focus is on the development of innovative and impactful approaches, algorithms, and data, with a comprehensive approach that includes research in perception, learning, reasoning, and interaction.
[Project Description]
The mission of the project is to endow autonomous robots the ability to perceive complex tasks. The research will involve leading and executing a research vision in Learning and Semantic Reasoning to achieve generalization in robotics. This effort touches on all fields of robotics: Sensing and Vision, Reinforcement Learning, and planning & control. The lab has expertise and platforms for social robot mobility and robot manipulation.
Additional responsibilities include developing research objectives and proposals; presentations and publications; liaising and networking with colleagues and students; planning and organizing research resources and workshops. The candidate will also be actively involved in mentoring students in SVL.
[Requirements]
- PhD degree in computer science, robotics, engineering or related field.
