Description:
A Research Associate position is available in the Department of Informatics to
work with Professor Kaspar Althoefer and Dr Thrishantha Nanayakkara and
colleagues in the highly esteemed Centre for Robotics Research (CoRe) on a
recently awarded EU Grant. The successful candidate will perform and contribute
to research in the areas of:
• force/tactile and stiffness sensing,
• sensor signal analysis and classification,
• cognitive models for distributed learning and control of soft robot
manipulators,
• bimanual human-robot collaboration in visco-elastic force control, as well as
• haptic feedback.
You must be a good team worker, able to work collaboratively and independently,
with excellent communication and organisational skills. The successful
candidate will be part of EU project STIFF-FLOP working within a
multi-disciplinary team at King’s and in collaboration with renowned
researchers at ten partner institutes across Europe, spanning a wide range of
expertise in engineering, neuroscience, artificial intelligence and medicine.
You will be working at the forefront of research on exciting science problems
involving the creation of soft, stiffness controllable manipulation devices
equipped with learning capabilities for the application in minimally invasive
surgery.
