Descripción de la oferta
Are you excited about shaping the next generation of AI-powered robotic manipulation in real, unstructured environments?
The Robotics and Automation Unit at Eurecat Technology Center (Barcelona) is looking for a passionate engineer or researcher who wants to push the boundaries of robot learning, dexterous manipulation, and perception-rich autonomy in agriculture and advanced manufacturing.
You’ll join a multidisciplinary team working at the intersection of robotics, AI, and real-world deployment, contributing to systems that harvest fruit, manipulate objects in factories, and learn robust skills through data and experience.
WHAT WILL YOU DO
If you join the Manipulation team, you will:
Pioneer the next era of learning-driven robotic manipulation
Develop dexterous manipulation policies for complex, uncertain environments in both Agrifood and Manufacturing.
Integrate Transformers, VLAs, Diffusion Policies, Flow Matching, Foundation Models for Robotics (RT-X style), and Imitation Learning into real robot systems.
Build full AI pipelines, from data to deployment
Design and execute data collection campaigns in real environments (greenhouses, orchards, industrial settings).
Lead data curation, annotation pipelines, dataset augmentation, and multimodal dataset preparation (RGB-D, proprioception, tactile, force-torque data).
Train behaviour cloning, reinforcement learning, and foundation-model-prompted RL/IL.
Deploy learned models on-robot / on the edge, optimizing for latency, reliability, and real-time performance under field conditions.
Advance perception for challenging environments
Develop 3D perception, crop/fruit detection, pose estimation, grasp synthesis, and scene understanding for unstructured natural environments.
Fuse vision, proprioception, and force data to enable safe physical interaction.
Make real robots learn and improve
Integrate your algorithms with our robotic platforms (mobile manipulators, cobots, custom agrifood systems).
Validate your solutions both in the lab and on field deployments.
Collaborate, learn, and grow with us
Work with an international consortium of companies, R&D partners, and farmers/growers.
Contribute to scientific publications, demos, project deliverables, and client interactions.
Participate in project planning, execution, and new proposal definition.
