I am looking to fill two  graduate research assistantships 
(for Ph.D.) with the robotics group at Simon Fraser University. 
One of the positions starts from May '94 and the other from
September '94.


Duties include developing and implementing
algorithms for a variety of planning and manipulation
tasks in robotics and manufacturing.
Some examples of the research domains are gross motion planning, 
manipulation planning, fine manipulation (grasping), planning with uncertainty. 

A Master's 
degree in a related discipline (CS, EE or ME) is a prerequisite.
A combined background in computational 
geometry, algorithms and mechanics is ideal.

The robotics group has excellent research facilities
and provides  a congenial, flexible and exciting research environment.
The facilities include a network of SUN Sparcstations, an IRIS 
Indigo machine,
a laser range scanner, a PUMA 560 and a planar direct drive arm.
The research interests of faculty span computational aspects of
robotics, robot planning, sensing, mechanical
design and control in robotics. The group 
has  close collaboration with local industry.
