opportunity of interacting with a recognized network of experts in the
fields of haptics, robotics and machine learning. More information on the
position can be found in the following.TitleDC3: RemoTouch - a system for
human-to-human tactile communicationImportant datesApplication deadline:
28/02/2023 Tentative date of enrolment: 01/09/2023Project descriptionThe
touch-enabled Tactile Internet (TI), also known as the Internet of Skills,
is anticipated to bring an economic and social impact to the digitized
world. It has attracted massive interest from the industry and is aligned
with the goals of Horizon Europe. TOAST will train the next generation of
researchers to tackle the challenges of TI. More in detail, the researcher
will focus on developing a low-cost wearable device with low energy
consumption, able to capture, transmit and render tactile interactions.
Moreover, the design and development of a communication architecture and of
a communication protocol will be crucial for the purpose of establishing a
two-way channel between users for the exchange of tactile signals.The final
step will be the assessment of the performance of the device in terms of
immersiveness and realism of the tactile interaction. This will be done
through an experimental campaign enrolling multiple subjects.Eligibility
Conditions- Not having already obtained a PhD and not currently enrolled in
any PhD.- The candidates are eligible if they have not resided in Italy for
more than 12 months within the past 36 months.Place: Siena Robotics and
System Lab (SIRSLAB), Department of Information Engineering and
Mathematics, University of Siena, ItalyRequired Skills- Software
development- Useful programming skills: different programming languages
e.g., C/C++/C#, Python, Matlab/Simulink.- Other useful skills: machine
learning, statistical data processing and signal processing. - Strongly
motivated for team working.How to applyPlease submit your application
