IRCCYN (Nantes France) is offering a research engineer positions in Humanoid Robotics 22 months
The robotics team from IRCCYN is offering a research engineer positions
in Humanoid Robotics (22 months) in the framework of the national
project ROBOTEX starting december 2013.
Research Engineer in humanoid robotics (until 30/09/2015)
Context and environment
------------------------------
The French government has decided to invest over 2 years 10 million Euro
for the equipment of national research platforms in various domains of
robotics. (investissements d?avenir).
This national network of platforms is called ROBOTEX. The main goal of
ROBOTEX is to setup coherent infrastructures of technical equipments in
order to:
? Promote scientific exchange and development of collaborative work
between academic research teams, companies and end-users, and provide
durable and reusable expertise and know?how,
? Give researchers high-level equipments with a facilitated access,
? Increase the visibility of the French robotics academic research and
its international impact. It particularly concerns the strengthening of
its European scientific leadership, and the increase of collaborative
works with leading European countries as well as at an international level,
? Boost the competitiveness of French companies and open new markets
based on robotic technologies.
The experimental platforms of the ROBOTEX national network mostly belong
to joint CNRS-university laboratories with strong research and
development activities in robotics, and having the necessary human
resources to give access and provide optimal exploitation of the
platforms. This national network links together most of the leading
academic robotics research teams in France.
Robotics Team at IRCCYN is organized around 4 main research areas:
Mobile Robotics,
Production Robotics, Humanoid Robotics, Bioinspired Robotics. The team
is involved in the national robotics research network ROBOTEX through 3
sub networks:
- Humanoid robotics and Natural Interaction
- Production Robotics
- Mobile Robotics
Robotics team will have a humanoid robot Romeo from Aldebaran Robotics.
Missions
-----------
? Integration of the humanoid robot in its area and put in place all
peripheral elements
? Software integration in a common environment of the robot control, the
embedded sensors data acquisition (proprioceptive data, embedded
cameras, embedded force sensors), and external sensors data acquisition
(external cameras, ?.)
? Development of demonstrations in collaboration with researchers in the
team
1. Demonstration of mimicking and learning. Human motion will be
register by using a global motion system capture. This motion will be
adapted and then transferred and replayed on ROMEO. A learning algorithm
will be developed to extend the autonomous capabilities of the robot to
the execution of task from the same family than the ones previously learnt.
2. Walking demonstration. First, ROMEO will be tele operated by one
operator. Second,
ROMEO will reach autonomously a desired target position.
3. Demonstration of the full body coordinated motion (upper and lower
part of the body) : as an example moving a , or moving objects.
? Prepare all reports concerning the integration of the robotic
platform, the architecture, the demos done.
