Job summary

Politecnico di Milano seeks a researcher to support the design, integration, and testing of a full-scale multi-system robotic prototype for collaborative construction. The role covers virtual/physical integration, end-effector optimization, and hardware/software integration, with emphasis on safety and HRI during TRL4 validation.

You will prepare technical documentation and deliver periodic reports and dissemination materials for European partners, contributing to the project’s success.

Qualifications

• Experience in designing, integrating, and implementing full-scale multi-system robotic prototypes for collaborative construction processes.
• Study of the integration between virtual and physical environments for simulation, monitoring, and coordination of robotic operations.
• Design and optimization of end-effectors and manipulation systems, component selection, and hardware and software integration.
• Experimental testing, performance analysis, and system optimization through adaptive control and error recovery strategies.
• Assessment of safety, human-robot interaction, and support for TRL 4 prototype validation.
• Preparation of technical documentation, periodic reports, presentations, and dissemination materials to be shared with European project partners.
