Dear all,
Please find below a post doc
offer at Behaviors.AI
Context
Behaviors.ai
(an Engine enHancing verbAl and nonVerbal InteractiOns
of
RobotS, based on Artificial Intelligence) is an ANR
Labcom funded
project, which is a joint laboratory between the LIRIS-CNRS
research laboratory and Hoomano
company, on the period 2017-2020 and which aim is to
conduct research
and development, on making Human-Robot Interaction more
empathic,
intuitive and natural (http://behaviors.ai).
This project gathers expertise from LIRIS researchers (SMA
Group) in Artificial Intelligence, constructivist
approaches for
learning and from Hoomano,
a specialized firm in software development for social
robots.
Behaviors.ai targets to transfer fundamental research
results,
especially in developmental learning, to mass-market
applications in
robots.
The
project also benefits from two other collaborative
transdisciplinary
projects AMPLIFIER (Active
Multisensory Perception and LearnIng For InteractivE
Robots)
and ETHICS.ai (Artificial
constructivist agents that learn ETHICS in
humAn-Involved
co-construction)
developed by the research team and the perspective of
building a
European H2020 project on a related topic.
Position
Description
In
the context of this project we are looking for a
motivated
Postdoctoral research candidate with an expertise in
Human-Robot
Interaction, and good skills in Artificial Intelligence
and Machine
Learning. The successful candidate for this position
would be able to
work on the project objectives, both autonomously and in
cooperation
with the project
team
which involves
researchers, engineers and practitioners in the field of
AI and
Social Robotics.
It is also expected that the recruited post doc
contributes to the
daily work in the project (interaction with the Software
Development
Team, scientific publication writing, State of the art
study, etc.)
Targeted
Mission
The
targeted mission for this Postdoctoral research position
is the
achievement of research and the supervision of the
associated
development, to endow the behaviors.ai engine with new
developmental
learning algorithms that improve Human-Robot
Interactions and to set
a benchmarking framework for the evaluation of the
impact of learning
algorithms on the smartness of Human-Robot Interactions.
