Research Associate (Humanoid Robot Locomotion) Full-time

Research Associate In Robotics And Control

CARTIN is a NRF medium sized center on advanced robotics. CARTIN aims to develop advanced robotics technology for applications in logistics, manufacturing and robots for humans.

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research Associate with a strong background in robotics and control to join our project on humanoid robot locomotion.

Key Responsibilities:

The successful candidate will:

• develop locomotion and local motion control algorithms for humanoid robots,
• implement learning-based and/or model-based control methods (e.g., RL, MPC, whole-body control),
• improve motion robustness under real-world conditions, and
• conduct simulation and real-world experiments for system evaluation.

Job Requirements:

Applicants should hold a Master's degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., Robotics, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science), and have experience in one or more of the following areas: legged or humanoid locomotion, robot control, learning-based control, or dynamics of robotic systems.

Strong programming skills in C/C++ and/or Python, familiarity with robotics frameworks such as ROS 2 or ROS, and experience with simulators (e.g., Isaac Gym, MuJoCo) will be advantageous. Hands-on experience with robotic systems is a plus.

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
