Background or familiarity with some of the following: motion control and actuation, whole-body control, reinforcement learning, robot teleoperation methods, common communication protocols, research robotic arms/systems, visual perception and depth sensors, machine learning, robotic simulation, force and tactile sensing systems, haptic interfaces. A strong track record of impact, either via first author research publications at top-tier machine learning or robotics conferences (RSS, NeurIPS, ICML, CoRL, ICRA, IROS, …), or via meaningful contributions to successful industry initiatives.
