Amazon is looking for talented Postdoctoral Scientists to join our Robotics AI, Adroit team for a one-year, full-time research position.

At Robotics AI, our mission is to enable robots to interact safely, efficiently, and fluently with the clutter and uncertainty of real-world fulfilment centers at Amazon scale. We are actively developing robotic solutions for high-speed manipulation of highly diverse objects in densely occupied spaces. We rely on compliant manipulation through force sensing, to make intentional contact with objects and manipulate clutter without damage. Our systems are required to cope with a high-variety of object classes including rigid, articulated (e.g. books), separable (e.g. boxes), and deformable (including bagged), and manipulate such items without damage or deconstruction.

Key job responsibilities
In this role you will:
• Work closely with a senior science advisor, collaborate with other scientists and engineers, and be part of Amazon’s vibrant and diverse global science community.
• Publish your innovation in top-tier academic venues and hone your presentation skills.
• Be inspired by challenges and opportunities to invent cutting-edge techniques in your area(s) of expertise.
