Research Leader - AI and robotics

This job has now expired please search on the home page to find live IT Jobs.

This is an opportunity to join the leading European company on cloud robotics. They have developed a revolutionary cloud robotics service (called Noos), providing an array of AI modules to support Robot autonomy, as well as Human-Robot interaction.

They are already applying their cloud-based solutions in the creation and delivery of service robotics applications for the elderly (offering cognitive assistance, geriatric assessment, and companionship). However, their solutions can be used in various other domains and fields, such as medical and clinical, children education, civil, agriculture, manufacturing and shop-floor operations, intelligent transport systems, unmanned vehicles, monitoring and security, etc.

They are now looking for an AI and robotics research leader to not only push forward their current work in cloud robotics by building applications that use Noos in specific contexts - but also to help them achieve their dream of building an AI infrastructure that will offer centralised intelligence to robots.
