Job description

As part of a SNSF Co-Investigator Grant between ETH Zurichs SoftRobotics Lab and University of Twentes NeuBotics Lab, we are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow interested in advancing reinforcement learning approaches for the control of human-inspired musculoskeletal robots. The project focuses on creating digital twins of musculoskeletal robots equipped with neuronal control networks, with the aim of deriving robust robot controllers for sim2real applications.

If you are excited by interdisciplinary research at the interface of robotics, biomechanics, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience, we encourage you to apply.

The opening

The project combines advanced neuromusculoskeletal modeling, reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and robotic experimentation to enable the next generation of human-inspired musculoskeletal robots.
