Postdoctoral Researcher: Virtual Prototyping, Iri, Barcelona, Spain

Summary: Join our dynamic team at the Perception & Manipulation group at IRI and contribute to the development of a physically accurate cloth simulator, CLOTHILDE. This project aims to enhance the capabilities of the simulator to enable robotic systems to effectively manipulate garments based on the simulations it generates.Postdoctoral Researcher: Virtual Prototyping for Robotic Manipulation of GarmentsDesignation: Postdoctoral ResearcherResearch Area: Virtual Prototyping for Robotic Manipulation of Garments, Enhancing the Capabilities of the Clothilde Cloth SimulatorPhD in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields Proficiency in mathematical modeling, optimization, and data science techniquesKnowledge of programming languages such as Python, MATLAB, or C++Experience with cloth simulators or virtual reality environmentsProficiency in EnglishFemale candidates are strongly encouraged to applyJob Description:Develop a user-friendly VR interface for the cloth simulator, emphasizing real-time feedback, ease of use, interactivity, and customizationExpand the cloth model to include garments with complex designs, considering seams and mixed materialsOptimize the cloth model for handling collisions, especially on surfaces like folding tablesIntegrate virtual robotic environments to model robot-cloth interactions with different grasping modesHow to Apply:Please send your documentation before 30/08/2024 to:Fax: 93 401 57 50Please remember to reference the offer (ID-128) and include the following documentation: CV
