Senior/ Scientist, Robotics (Robotic Arm Manipulation)

We are partnering with a leading research and innovation organisation to hire a Senior Scientist to advance next-generation robotics through Embodied AI and intelligent robot learning.

This role focuses on developing advanced robotic capabilities, particularly Learning from Demonstration (LfD), contact-rich manipulation, and adaptive skill acquisition for real-world industrial applications. The successful candidate will contribute to applied R&D initiatives, bridging advanced research with practical deployment in manufacturing environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct applied R&D in Embodied AI for robotics, focusing on Learning from Demonstration (LfD) and contact-rich manipulation.

• Design and execute experiments to collect and analyse demonstration data for intelligent robotic behaviours.

• Develop and implement machine learning and deep learning algorithms for robot perception, manipulation, and decision-making.

• Translate research outcomes into functional prototypes and deployable solutions.

• Integrate multimodal perception, motion planning, and force/torque feedback into robotic systems.
