Subject: [AUDITORY] [jobs] Post-doctoral position at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) on Role of Social Signals in HRI From: Francesco Rea <Francesco.Rea@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2019 12:11:29 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_11caed6833ed4e4d96c68f035e0cd530iitit_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences Research Line at Istituto Italiano d= i Tecnologia in Erzelli, Genoa, is seeking to appoint one postdoctoral posi= tion focusing on the use of the iCub humanoid robot to investigate the role= of body-mediated (embodied) social signals in human-robot collaborative in= teraction and to identify the minimum subset of signals enabling mutual und= erstanding in human-robot communication in realistic, application oriented,= scenarios. The research activities will be carry out under the supervision= of Dr. Francesco Rea and Prof. Giulio Sandini (https://www.iit.it/careers/= openings/opening/969-postdoctoral-position-in-the-role-of-social-signals-in= -human-robot-communication) The activity will be carried out within a Joint Lab recently established be= tween IIT and a major producer in the automotive sector, dedicated scientif= ic and technical activities, including training, in the field of signs-base= d social communication mediated by robots. The research for this Postdoctor= al position will involve: a) the development of methods and relative softwa= re to generate robot behaviors for natural mutual understanding, b) the des= ign and implementation of novel models of immediate perception of the human= partner state, and c) the design of experiments, testing and analysis/val= idation in human-robot interaction experiments. The first goal of the resea= rch is modelling how the robot could adapt its perception and behaviour to = the individual needs of the partner during an interaction, with potential i= mplications for communicative technology. The second goal of the research i= s to exploit how these models can be transferred to novel robotic designs. --_000_11caed6833ed4e4d96c68f035e0cd530iitit_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-micr= osoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns=3D"http:= //www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dus-ascii"= > <meta name=3D"Generator" content=3D"Microsoft Word 14 (filtered medium)"> <style></style> </head> <body lang=3D"IT" link=3D"blue" vlink=3D"purple"> <div class=3D"WordSection1"> Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences Research Line at Is= tituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Erzelli, Genoa, is seeking to appoint one postdoctoral position focusing on the use of the iCub human= oid robot to investigate the role of body-mediated (embodied) social signal= s in human-robot collaborative interaction and to identify the minimum subs= et of signals enabling mutual understanding in human-robot communication in realistic, application oriented, scenarios= .
