PostDoc position: modeling locomotion planning
This position is available at LPPA (http://www.lppa.college-de-france.fr) lab at Coll?ge de France (http://www.college-de-france.fr/site/en-college/) in Paris.
Context:
ROMEO 2 is a large French project involving both academic and industrial groups for multidisciplinary studies and development of an autonomous humanoid robot. One of the tasks of the project consists in proposing navigation strategies inspired by human behaviors.
Content:
The objective of the position is to compare different mathematical models of motor control and trajectory planning for locomotion and to evaluate their relevance for human physiological processes. These models will include optimal control family, probabilistic models either reactive or anticipatory, and models based on invariance principles.
The researcher will have first to do a review of the existing models and second to use existing human data to evaluate their predictive and explanatory power. He will possibly propose new experimental paradigms to better discriminate between the different models.
Competences:
Good mathematical proficiency is required. Familiarity with computing and modeling software is necessary. A previous experience in physiological data processing and/or multi degrees of freedom system control is a plus.
Duration:
One year starting at fall 2013 with a possible extension for one more year.
Salary:
Around 2500? per month (depending on previous experience)
Please submit CV and references by mail to Pierre.Bessiere@College-de-France.fr and Jacques.Droulez@college-de-France.fr

Great NRL Postdoc Opportunities 2-4 postdocs needed
The Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence
(NCARAI) at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington DC is
looking for 2-4 roboticist postdocs to join our team. Our team is
multidisciplinary and includes roboticists, cognitive scientists, and
computer scientists.
Our focus is primarily on human robot interaction from a computational
cognitive and social perspective. We have openings for postdocs who
specialize in:
* Perception on a mobile robot
* Multi-Robot control
* Multi-Robot interfaces
* Navigation/Mobility in difficult terrains (forest, dessert)
* Quadrotor mobility/sensing/navigation
I will consider people with expertise in any area of mobile
robotics, though an open mind, an ability to work well in medium size
groups, and a strong publishing record are all required.
Our postdoc deadline is August 1, so please contact me immediately
(greg.trafton@nrl.navy.mil) if you are interested in becoming a
postdoc with us. Our postdoc positions typically last for 2-3 years.
You must be a US citizen to apply for this position. Pay is ~75K;
details about the postdoc program itself are available at
http://hroffice.nrl.navy.mil/jobs/postdoc.htm and check out the NRC
postdoc program.
We have outstanding facilities and resources. Robot platforms include:
three MDS anthropomorphic robots (Octavia, Lucas and Isaac), each with
highly expressive heads and torsos with close to 50 DOF; ten ASCTEC
Pelican quadrotors; eight Pioneer platforms; an iRobot/RWI B21r; a
Segway robot; two RWI ATRV Jrs; and others. We also have a great
selection of sensors, from Swiss Rangers to Ladybugs.
Of particular excitement is our new 50,000 square foot facility, the
Laboratory for Autonomous Systems Research, which has unique
environmental high bays and laboratories for experimentation. The
hallmark is a 150x75x30 reconfigurable high bay, which will has
full motion capture coverage over the entire space, floodable areas
and many more features to support state-of-the-art research. Other
environments within our new facility include: a live-growth tropical
rain forest; a desert environment with rock walls; a littoral
environment (which includes a 25 x 50 pool with an adjustable slope
on one end and wave generators on the other end for creating surf
conditions); and an outdoor highland forest environment with water
features and "box canyons" built out of boulders. Our new machine shop
is very well equipped and includes plastic prototyping machines and 3D
printers.
