Research Fellow (Computer Science) - Motion Planning & AI

About the role

The Hyundai-NTU-A*STAR Corporate Lab at NTU is looking for a Research Fellow to develop advanced motion planning algorithms for robotic arms used in automotive manufacturing. The work combines research and development with integration into simulation software and real manufacturing systems, and collaboration with NTU, A*STAR and HMGICS project teams.

Key responsibilities

• Research and develop sampling-based and reinforcement learning-based motion planning algorithms for multiple robotic arms in automotive manufacturing, including testing and performance evaluation in simulation and in the actual manufacturing environment.
• Integrate the algorithms with the simulation software and the actual manufacturing systems.
• Read related research papers and implement innovative solutions to meet project requirements.
• Work closely with the NTU project teams as well as the A*STAR and HMGICS project teams.
• Publish papers in international robotics and AI conferences and journals.

Required profile

• PhD degree in Computer Science, Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• Proven track record of working in a rapid R&D environment, with experience in path planning for robotic arms, reinforcement deep learning and AI.
• Good publication record.
• A strong background in robotics kinematics and dynamics, trajectory planning and control is a distinct advantage.

Required skills

• Proficiency in programming, software design and development and algorithms.
• Strong analytical, algorithmic, AI and communication skills.
