About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Research robot learning and human-robot interaction at the intersection of multimodal policy learning, hierarchical reasoning, human-aware policy adaptation, uncertainty-aware teaming, collaborative data, and shared autonomy
Develop general algorithms for robust multimodal policies that reason over actions in the presence of humans
Develop hierarchical reasoning frameworks for human and shared task states, including intent, cues, and roles
Robustify data-driven robot policies for human interaction, including data aggregation and simulation-based adaptation of vision-language-action models
Estimate and calibrate policy success under human context and use estimates to guide collaborative robot behavior
Explore human-human, synthetic, and semi-synthetic data sources for robot-policy training and collaborative demonstrations
Develop shared autonomy with vision-language-action models for autonomous and manual control
Create working code prototypes
Interact frequently with team members
Run experiments with simulated and real physical robots
Participate in publishing work in peer-reviewed venues
Work with large static datasets and help build and maintain a new corpus of robot data

Requirements

What you’ll need
