6-19 (2017-10-17) Call for Multiple PhD positions in Human-Machine Interaction funded by the ANIMATAS Innovative Training Network
Call for Multiple PhD positions in Human-Machine Interaction funded by the ANIMATAS Innovative Training Network
ANIMATAS (MSCA ? ITN ? 2017 - 765955 2) is a H2020 Marie Sklodowska Curie European Training Network funded by Horizon 2020 (the European Union?s Framework Programme for Research and Innovation), coordinated by Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris, France). ANIMATAS partners are: UPMC (coord.), Uppsala Univ., Institut Mines Telecom, KTH, EPFL, INESC-ID, Jacobs Univ. and SoftBank Robotics Europe.
Scientific and technical objectives ANIMATAS focuses on the following objectives: 1) Exploration of fundamental questions relating to the interconnections between robots and virtual characters? appearance, behaviours and perception by people 2) Development of new social learning mechanisms that can deal with different types of human intervention and allow robots and virtual characters to learn in an unconstrained manner 3) Development of new approaches for robots and virtual characters? personalised adaptation to human users in unstructured and dynamically evolving social interactions Multiple Positions in Human-Machine Interaction:
15 early-stage researchers (ESR) positions of 36 months are available within ANIMATAS. The successful candidates will participate in the network?s training activities offered by the European academic and industrial participating teams. The successful candidate will be have the opportunity to work with Interactive Robotics, Furhat Robotics, Mobsya, University of Wisconsin- Madison, University of Southern California, Immersion SAS, IDMind, Trinity College Dublin.
