The Institute of Automatic Control Engineering, Technische Universität München, is seeking up to
3 Research Assistants/wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter with opportunity for dissertation
within the EU IP project BEAMING. The goal of this project is to instantaneously transport people (visitors) from one physical place in the world to another so that they can interact with local people there. At TUM this is achieved by embodying the visitor at the destination site by using a physical robot that can be controlled remotely and by providing visual, auditory, and haptic cues at the local site.
The BEAMING project is an international collaboration with 12 partners from 8 different countries funded by the EU commission. For this project, we are employing ambitious young researcher with interest in the following areas:
- Intention recognition
- Design and control of haptic interfaces
- Multi-robot systems
- Teleoperation
- Haptic human-robot interaction
This challenging project requires a team of excellent researchers with strong disciplinary background (control, mechanical or electrical engineering, computer science) and a strong interest to work in an interdisciplinary environment. A strong capacity for teamwork is indispensable. Advanced programming skills and experience (C/C++, etc.) are an asset.
The positions are fully paid according to German rules (13 TV-L). Requirements are a successful degree (master/diploma) with excellent records. Please send your application including your complete CV, relevant certificates, and some of your publications by Email to office@lsr.ei.tum.de with the Keyword "PosBEAMING". TUM is especially encouraging minorities and women to apply, because of its strong commitment to diversity in engineering education, research, and practice.
