IIT CRIS - Via S.
Quirico 19/D, GenovaStep into a world of endless possibilities, together let's leave something for the future!At IIT, we are committed to advancing human-centered Science and Technology to address the most urgent societal challenges of our era.
We foster excellence in both fundamental and applied research, spanning fields such as neuroscience and cognition, humanoid technologies and robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and material sciences, offering a truly interdisciplinary scientific experience.
Our approach integrates cutting-edge tools and technology, empowering researchers to push the limits of knowledge and innovation.
With us, your curiosity will know no bounds.
e are dedicated to providing equal employment opportunities and fostering diversity in all its forms, creating an inclusive environment.
We value the unique experiences, knowledge, backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives of our people.
By embracing diversity, we believe science can achieve its fullest potential.
HE ROLEYou will be working in a multi-disciplinary group, where people with different backgrounds collaborate, each with their own expertise, to support IIT research activity.
The Wearable Robots, Exoskeletons and Exosuits Laboratory (XoLab) and VICARIOS lab are part of the Advanced Robotics research line, directed by Prof.
Darwin Caldwell.
This research line focuses on an innovative, multidisciplinary approach to robot design and control, and the development of novel robotic components and technologies for applications in medical, surgical, and rehabilitation robotics, exoskeletons and force augmentation, manipulation and dexterous manipulators, telepresence and teleoperation, industrial automation and robotics, active perception and learning, inspection robotics, hyper-redundant robots, robot dynamics and "fast" robot and robots for hazardous environments.
he position is within XoLab and VICARIOS labs, coordinated by Dr.
Jesus Ortiz and Dr.
Yonas Tefera.
These labs are an inter-disciplinary group, with experts in wearable robots, exoskeletons, human-computer interaction, VR/AR, telepresence, control modeling, biomechanical simulations, and human factors.
The research outcomes are targeted at simplifying the lives of human operators (industrial workers, emergency responders, frontline workers) through advances in HCI paradigms.
The project aims to develop and integrate technologies in immersive mixed-reality experiences to train and prevent accidents and protect workers working at heights.
our main responsibilities will be.
oftware development and programming in interactive virtual reality using Unreal Engine.
ranslate project proposal requirements into simple, clean, and efficient mixed-reality based software.
ake decisions on the MR feature architecture and manage the implementation process.
ork on improving and maintaining the code, fixing bugs, and resolving recurring issues.
uild and maintain clear and efficient communication with the team and participate in demonstrations for the funding agency.
his open position/research is financed by "INAIL ("Istituto Nazionale per l%27Assicurazione contro gli Infortuni sul Lavoro" - Italian National Worker's Compensation Authority)" within the "Sistemi Cibernetici Collaborativi - Lavori in quota - Tecnologie per la Formazione in Realt%26agrave; Virtuale" (Collaborative Cybernetic Systems - Work at Height - Technologies for Virtual Reality training) project.
