Description:
For a robotics project with the focus on interactive learning of object manipulations we are looking for a PhD student to adapt an existing grounding-based dialog module to the task of interactive action learning. In addition to imitation learning the scenario forsees online processing of action-synchronous verbal explanations. A further focus lies on the multi-modal representation of actions that need to be handled by the different components for dialog modelling, action perception and action production.
We are looking for a researcher who is motivated to take an interdisciplinary perspective by taking problems related to robotics research into account. In exchange we are offering an interdisciplinary research group (combining computer science with linguistic, psychological and sociological research) where problems are analysed and solved in an interdisciplinary way.
Programming skills in C(++) or Java are necessary.
