Postdoc In Soft Robotic sensing for agri-food Demonstrator project (0,85 FTE)
Eindhoven University of Technology
Job descriptionThis challenging postdoc position asks for both a scientific and an entrepreneurial mind, as it intends to bring lab-proven technology closer to the actual application. Are you inspired by soft robotic sensing, but also interested in interviewing professionals in robotics for the agri-food sector to find that perfect use case for our project?In this project, we will be developing a drop-in pneumatic sensing unit, which can be added to existing soft grippers and suction cups for the agri-food industry. This postdoc position is funded through an NWO Demonstrator grant, which makes it a special kind of project. The goal of the project is to bring the technology that the project team already demonstrated in the lab closer to a product that would be useable in real agri-food robotic use cases. Thus, you will not only prototype and iterate on the pneumatic unit, but stakeholder interviews and field visits to understand potential use cases will also be an important part of this project.You will be embedded in the Reshape lab within the Robotics Section of the Mechanical Engineering Department. In this lab, there is a good infrastructure for rapid prototyping of both rigid and soft components, and for sensing and control of soft robots. Moreover, the Demonstrator project team and the companies involved in the Sounding Board will be available as a resource throughout the project. Together, we aim to take the next step in soft robotic sensing, by giving a sense of touch to robots which harvest and package vegetables, fruits, and other food products.Job requirements
