Junior Research Fellow and Project Assistant

Number of Vacancy: 2 Posts

Educational Qualification: B.Tech/B.E

1. Post Name: Junior Research Fellow and Project Assistant position in the area of Robotics / Control Systems

2. Broad Subject Area: Robotics / Control Systems

3. Minimum Qualification: B.Tech / B.E. in Electrical / Electronics / Instrumentation Engineering or allied areas with specialization in either robotics or control systems from a reputed institute or university.

4. Salary Range: Monthly remuneration will be in the range of Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 30,000 per month.

5. Project: Compliant Robotic Actuators and Self-Learning Robots With Impedance Control.

6. No. of Post: 02

7. Description: We have openings for JRF/Project assistant to work on projects with heavy experimental as well as simulation components on robotic systems including compliant robotic actuators and selflearning robots with impedance control. These projects involve designing and building hardware systems (with force feedback and force control) and programming on them. The candidates are expected to have strong interests and some prior foundation in controls, robotics, or relevant embedded systems. Some prior expertise in building robot hardware will be helpful.

a. Familiarity with Python, C, Matlab, or LabVIEW will be a plus. The successful candidates are also expected to bring a positive and enthusiastic attitude to the lab and work collaboratively with several other lab members on this project. An open-mindedness and a willingness to learn new hardware, software and theory skills as the project demands is a must. The successful candidates should be proficient in written and verbal communication, which is necessary to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment and present and explain the technical information.

b. The candidate will work in the SysIDEA Robotics lab (website, youtube channel) and will have plenty of opportunities to interact and collaborate with other labs in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and in cognitive sciences. The lab has a vibrant environment and has a diverse and interdisciplinary set of individuals and we work on a range of robotics and control systems projects ranging from fundamental theory and its hardware validation to robotic systems for specific applications (with human subject trials in some cases).

8. The tenure for this position is 10 months.
