Research Scientist

Alexander Chapman

We are looking for a Research Scientist / Engineer to drive research in the dynamics and control of dexterous, contact-rich manipulation. Your primary role is to design control algorithms that enable our robot to interact with physical objects, transitioning your research into real-world deployment for highly adaptable tasks such as assembly, object transport, and complex bimanual manipulation. You will design and implement bimanual manipulation algorithms for our mobile-based humanoid robot, using multi-fingered hands, and develop the end-to-end pipeline spanning perception, grasping, trajectory optimization, motion planning, and control. Working closely with the hardware, firmware, and control teams on exact modeling and system identification, you will build highly accurate digital twins in our in-house simulator and run rigorous, iterative testing across both simulation and the real world, collaborating with the machine learning teams to train and deploy robust models. #J-18808-Ljbffr
