Connectionists: Post-doc position in cognitive and assistive robotics at Ensta, IP Paris

[Nguyen, Sao Mai]

Dear colleagues,

ENSTA, IP Paris is looking to hire a talented post-doctoral researcher in
intelligent tutoring systems and/or cognitive robotics on a project on
active learning for assistive robotics. The appointment will be for 1 year
to work

The project aims to build a robot coach for physical rehabilitation.
The postdoctoral researcher will study imitation learning algorithms with
minimal data using intrinsic motivation as well as intelligent tutoring
systems based on intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation, first a theory
from psychology, has shaped efficient exploration heuristics for machine
learning algorithms to learn using few data and has enabled autonomous
curriculum learning.
The project thus builds on theories and algorithms from the field of
cognitive developmental robotics to propose new machine learning algorithms
for a medical and assittive robotics project.
