What you'll work on

  • Research, ideate, and implement novel and robust model- and learning-based robot behaviors and interaction control algorithms, enabling contact-rich manipulation in various real-world application domains including dexterous object manipulation.
  • Research, ideate, and implement robot reasoning algorithms for understanding and predicting failure, recoverying from failure, and learning successful task strategies through adaptive intelligence that can enable generalizability to new scenarios.
  • Develop and implement simulation environments for data collection.
  • Validate dexterous robot behavior algorithms through comprehensive data analysis and successful demonstrations on hardware.
  • Deliver results in accordance with the project timelines.
  • Assist with compiling written and oral reports for executives within the company and performing demos.
  • Contribute to the portfolio of patents, academic publications, and prototypes to demonstrate research value.
  • Collaborate with our teams of scientists and engineers in Honda's regional and global R&D offices, as well as with our partners in academia and industry.
  • Assist with supervising interns.

What we're looking for

  • Strong familiarity with both model and learning-based approaches for manipulation.
  • Extensive experience with algorithm and software development (and debugging) for complex robotic systems involving design, implementation and integration of multiple planners, controllers, and perception systems.
  • Research experience and expertise in planning and control for dexterous manipulation with tactile robotic multi-fingered hands.
