Postdoctoral Researchers in Robotics & HRI, Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute, Japan (2017)

The ATR Intelligent Robotics and Communications Laboratory is recruiting outstanding young (post-doctoral) researchers. Our laboratory has strong focus on human-robot interaction and "smart" networked robotics allowing various robots in human-populated environments, such as side-by-side walk with pedestrians, self-driving wheelchairs navigating in pedestrians. We have deployed these robots to interact with people and other robots in locations such as shopping malls, and elderly-care facilities.

We are seeking applications from researchers with special interest in mobile human-robot interaction. Candidates with specific expertise in the following domains are particularly welcome this time:
- Robot navigation with human-robot interaction, e.g. safe and stress-free navigation in human-populated environments, navigation control allowing the side-by-side walk
- Multi robots coordination/collaboration control
- Human-robot collaboration
- Human behavior modeling
- Robotic system integration
