Call for expression of interest for two (2) positions of Postdoc experienced researchers in the Institute of Computer Science (ICS) Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH)

We seek two Postdoc ‐ experienced researchers in Computer Vision with background in RTD projects. The candidates will participate in the R&D activities of FORTH‐ICS in the context of project “SOPRANO – Socially-Acceptable and Trustworthy Human-Robot Teaming for Agile Industries”, funded under Horizon Europe, Horizon – CL4 – 2022-Digital – Emerging – 02 and will work on topics related to computer vision. SOPRANO addresses both the synergistic task execution by humans and robots as part of the collaborative robot paradigm, and the strategic role of intelligent multi-robot systems where distributed and interconnected robots, with different characteristics and functions, are intelligently orchestrated to perform tasks whose complexity and cost are too demanding for a single robot to accomplish on its own. The project aspires to scale robotics collaboration from the single human-robot dyad to a peer-based synergy between heterogeneous robots featuring different physical and cognitive properties, supporting various tasks in collaboration with humans or other robotic agents. SOPRANO aims to design the next generation of multi-human multi-robot systems to support more flexible, resilient and reconfigurable agile processes. These will be showcased in three use cases, namely next generation manufacturing floors, automated construction sites, and smart agri-food production where humans and intelligent machines seamlessly work together. The selected candidates will contribute in tasks regarding the visual perception of a robot’s environment and visual SLAM in particular. One will be employed full-time and the other part-time.
