The SRI International Artificial Intelligence Center (AIC) is seeking a Senior Computer Scientist to participate in research on two-armed robotic manipulation. The applicant should be well-recognized by the research community with an outstanding publication record.
The AIC is one of the world's major centers of research in artificial intelligence. Founded in 1966, the AIC has been a pioneer and a major contributor to the development of computer capabilities for intelligent behavior in complex situations. Its objectives are to understand the computational principles underlying intelligence in man and machines and to develop methods for building computer-based systems to solve problems, to communicate with people, and to perceive and interact with the physical world.
Because the AIC is an integral part of a nonprofit research institute, it can carry out comprehensive and effective long-term programs. The AIC's permanent staff includes one of the largest (approximately 87 computing professionals) and most highly trained (approximately 53 percent with a Ph.D. or its equivalent) groups of AI professionals in the world. At the same time, the Center provides the stimulation and creative exchange of ideas characteristic of an academic setting by maintaining associations with universities and other research groups and by providing opportunities for students and visiting fellows from the United States and abroad to participate in ongoing projects.
Essential Functions:
The successful applicant will conduct state-of-the-art research and development in autonomous two-armed mobile manipulation. He or she will collaborate closely with a team of other researchers in robotics and perception (both at SRI and at several universities) in a multi-year program whose goal is to develop and implement novel grasping and manipulation algorithms that will support regular and incremental demonstrations culminating in a system that far exceeds today’s capabilities.
Other Duties:
The successful applicant is expected to naturally develop into a Project Leader able to establish and secure funding for robotics research.
Experience and Education Requirements:
PhD in Computer Science or related field and experience in building robotic systems. The applicant should have excellent oral and written skills, experience in writing research proposals, and comfortable working in teams. The applicant should also be very self-motivated and require minimal supervision.
