Research Positions in Vision and Robotics

Dept of Computer Science
Trinity College Dublin,
Ireland.

From January 1 1998 there will be several research positions open
in the Computer Vision and Robotics Group, Trinity College Dublin.
http://www.cs.tcd.ie/research_groups/cvrg/
Research positions are of variable length, from a minimum of six months
to a max. of two years.

The focus of the Computer Vision and Robotics group is Field and
Service Robotics.  This requires attention to factors such as
human-robot
interaction, safety and reliability in addition to conventional
disciplines
of robotics.  Researchers can expect to have a high level of contact
with
potential users and regular field tests of robot systems.  The research
programme is flexible and will be defined in co-operation with visiting
researchers, some typical areas of research include:
* Sensing and Control of a tele-autonomous bomb disposal robot
* Development of visually guided docking strategies in mobile
   rehabilitation robots
* Development of multi modal user interfaces for service robots

As these posts are funded by the EU Training and Mobility of Researchers

programme so there are some restrictions on who may take up these posts,
briefly:
* Candidates must be aged 35 or younger
* Candidates must be Nationals of an EU country, Norway, Switzerland or
Iceland
* Candidates must have or be studying for a Doctoral Degree
* Candidates must not be Irish Nationals or worked in Ireland 18 out of
the last 24 months
