Postdoctoral Fellow Position - 1 Sep 2009

Location: 5000 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213-3890 United States
Start Date: Fall 2009

Position Description:

Our research group is looking for a talented researcher whose responsibilities would primarily include the research and development of a realtime 3D person tracking system for an industrial assembly task. Our project is examining methods by which robots and humans can work together in close proximity to jointly assemble complex parts. To do so, the robots in the workcell need accurate information as to the positions of the people and their limbs at all times to ensure their safety. We are looking for researchers who have experience with:
  • 3D perception systems including multi-camera arrays, stereo cameras, and flash lidars.
  • Detecting / tracking people's bodies, heads, and limbs.
This is an exciting 3-year project which will provide opportunities for both basic research as well as development / deployment of fully functional prototypes.

Carnegie Mellon University offers competitive postdoctoral salaries and the Pittsburgh area has recently been recognized as one of the most livable cities in the United States.
