Postdoc Hybrid Cognitive Architecture for Deep Understanding

The CoreSense project is a groundbreaking international and multidisciplinary project that aims at formulating a theory of awareness based on a systemic concept of understanding and implementing it in a reference hybrid cognitive architecture and engineering toolbox for aware autonomous robots. The novel architecture will be validated in the development of three autonomous robot demonstrators with increased capabilities to work without/with limited supervision, and next-generation interaction with humans, with greatly improved intuitive, safe and efficient cognitive, social and physical capabilities, to assist humans. The results will be released in the form of reusable software assets for the ROS ecosystem.

We are looking for an enthusiastic team player to lead the development of the novel hybrid cognitive architecture for autonomous robots based on deep understanding. You will be collaborating very closely with the project team in Delft and the rest of the partners, especially Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, and travelling to Madrid and other partner institutions will be required.

Tasks:

• Lead the development of the reference hybrid cognitive architecture for robot awareness, based on a novel symbolic approach rooted in category theory.
• Lead the development of architecture software assets to support the deployment of the cognitive architecture in ROS2 systems
• Contribute to the cognitive modules for the architecture, such as anticipation, navigation, reconfiguration, explanation, control and diagnosis.

Other tasks include:

• (Co) authoring scientific articles and project deliverables.
• Student supervision and teaching.
