Research Fellow I

We have an openings for Research Fellow position at the Bio-inspired Robotics and Design Laboratory (https://brd.sutd.edu.sg) at SUTD.

The role:
The Research Fellow (RF) will support fundamental and applied research in dexterous manipulation and grasping by developing novel soft and hybrid mechanisms, actuation, and sensing technologies for next-generation applications in both harsh and delicate environments. The RF will be involved in projects with (1) a large NRF-funded CREATE program in collaboration with NTU and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and (2) the Port of Singapore.
We are looking for researchers with a passion for design and innovation and keen to work with a multi-disciplinary team.

Responsibilities:

• Motion and path planning for a variety of industrial grasping applications
• Robot Navigation and obstacle avoidance using multi-modal sensor feedbak
• Design and run manipulation and grasping experiments in both laboratory environments and real application
  environments

Key requirements:
. A Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or related fields. Experience with Simulation Tools (Isaac Sim, Gazebo, etc)
. Experience with SolidWorks
. Experience with Vision systems
. Familiarity with Soft Robotics and Additive Manufacturing processes is a plus but not a requirement
