Set the technical direction toward learning-based and whole-body control.
Who You Are
Deep, first-principles real-time control and state estimation — model-predictive control, Kalman/particle/moving-horizon estimation, observability analysis.
Manipulation robotics — arm kinematics and dynamics, trajectory generation and correction, coordinate frames, hand-eye and extrinsic calibration.
Sensor-guided motion / visual servoing — closed perception-to-control loops on real hardware (vision- or sensor-guided manipulation)
Track record of real-time robotic systems, built and run on hardware.
Depth in robot perception — geometric/model-based vision, 3D sensing, point-cloud registration, calibration — to define what your control loop needs from perception and to reason about how perception error propagates into motion.
Modern, production C++ for real-time systems.
ROS / ROS 2 and the discipline of hard-real-time software — deterministic loops, timing budgets, buffered concurrency, thread-safety, debugging on real hardware.
