Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IIT Jodhpur) Invites Application for Research Scientist Recruitment 2022

Old Residency Road Ratanada, Jodhpur, 342011 Rajasthan

Applications are invited from the citizen of India for filling up the following temporary position in the Sponsored Research Project at this Institute. The position is purely temporary, initially for a period of 06 Months, and extendable but co-terminus with the duration of the project, on contractual basis with consolidated pay. The requisite qualification, experience and others details are given below:

1. Project No: S/IHFC/AMB/20210057

2. Project Title: Telepresence and Teleaction System for Robot Assisted Dentistry

3. Duration for initial appointment: 06 Months

4. Name of the Post: Research Scientist

5. No of Post: 02

6. Consolidate Pay: Rs. 35,400/-+ HRA (As per institute norms)

7. Essential Qualification:

B.E./ B. Tech with specialization in Electrical Engineering/ Electronics Engineering/ Electronics & Communication/ Mechanical Engineering/Aerospace engineering/ Computer Science or equivalent with first class or equivalent. GATE qualification in relevant disciplines is Mandatory from Non-CFTI institute.

8. Desired Qualification:

Sound knowledge of fundamentals of signal processing, control theory and Communication networking protocols. Proficiency in C, C++, MATLAB/Python simulations, and prior hands-on experience with robots and Communication networking protocols is preferable. The candidate is expected to have good communication skill and ability to cooperate with team

9. Brief description of Project:

a. In the recent times, telepresence and teleaction (TPTA) systems have gained a lot of attention in the research community because of their many applications in various fields.

b. TPTA systems allow a user to be present and active in a remote environment. Telemedicine (i.e., tele-diagnostics as well as tele-surgery) is one of its main applications assisted dentistry.

c. The goal of the project is to treat/diagnose a patient by a distance.

d. The experimental setup will involve a high-end robotic arm, 6- DoF force feedback haptic interface and various kinds of sensors. The doctor will be controlling the robot and getting a sense of touch feedback through a haptic interface

e. In the proposed TPTA system, all-three modalities (audio-hapticvisuo) will be transmitted to the operator (doctor) in real time for efficient interaction between the operator and teleoperator.

f. Note that the multimodal data transmission between robot and haptic interface over a communication network is one of main tasks of the project.

10. Job Description:

The selected candidate is expected to implement/design haptic data reduction algorithms along with stability control schemes for efficient implementation of the teledentistry system and perform other tasks for the successful completion of the project.

11. Advt. No.: IITJ/R&D/2021-22/66
