Genoa (Via Greto di Cornigliano, 6R)WHO WE AREAt IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society.
Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centers around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
n particular, InBot (Industrial Robotics Facility - https://www.
it.
t/it/web/industrial-robotics-facility) is an industrial research group dedicated to investigating cutting-edge solutions.
Our main skill is robotic virtual prototyping design applied to several fields; this approach leads to improvements in research (more that hundred published papers), as well as transfer technology (by several patents and prototypes) and, last, but not least, grants prix.
More than 20 projects in the last 10 years ended up with the developed prototypes installed into the industrial plants, as well as used as demonstrators in IIT.
OUR TEAM You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where mechanical, electrical, mechatronics and civil engineers and computational experts collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.
he Industrial Robotics Facility is coordinated by Ferdinando Cannella who has extensive experience in Industrial Robotics, Machine and Mechanisms, Mechanical Measurements, Biomedical Devices (Haptics) and Numerical Simulations.
e are looking for an enthusiastic, creative and positive person to join us.
We have built a team of roboticists dedicated to AI, manipulation, navigation and vision.
We need now a robotic control expert to complete and link together all the skills of our lab.
he scope of your work focuses on control aspects of robotics and mechatronics.
This includes hardware software integration using ROS.
our main responsibilities will be.
evelop control systems based on mobile manipulation and assemblingDevelop control techniques to stabilize cameras during navigation on uneven ground surfacesDevelop multi-target trajectory planning and control techniquesThis open position/research is financed by thenational funding for the "Casa delle Tecnologie Emergenti" (CTE) related to the Control Applied to the logistics (manipulation and moving) in Culture Heritage;"Robot Assisted Inspection of Pressure Equipment" (RIAP) project, related to develop autonomous robotic platform for inspecting pressure equipment;"Active Damping Continuous Parallel Robot on Artificial Intelligence" (ROSAIA), aiming at developing a flexible end effector to catch space debris.
