Postdoctoral fellowship in learning and control of soft grasping

The EPFL Laboratory of Intelligent Systems invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in learning and control of soft grippers. The postdoctoral fellow will join a diverse team of postdocs and PhD students working on mechanical design, materials, and integration of compliant and lightweight grippers for grasping, perching, and manipulation of rigid and deformable objects. The project is carried out in collaboration with the laboratory of Prof. Herb Shea. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to deep neural learning, evolutionary algorithms, computer vision, and biologically inspired control.
