Job title: PILLAR-robots Purposeful Intrinsically-motivated Lifelong Learning Autonomous Robots

Job DescriptionResearch Technician for the development of implementations in real robots of the motivational architecture of a cognitive mechanism within the framework of the HORIZON PILLAR-ROBOTS project applied to cases such as edutainment.

Tasks to be Performed:Research tasks related to artificial cognitive systems and autonomous robotics and their implementation in real robots.

It entails the development of a motivational and representation system within a cognitive architecture for robots, within the framework of lifelong learning, making the system autonomously generate motivations that guide behavior at every moment, based on its perceptions and experiences acquired in the past.

To do this, and following the philosophy of cognitive robotics, the biological mechanisms of autonomous learning that take place in human beings must be emulated in the robot.

Likewise, prior training in artificial intelligence techniques is required, such as machine learning and computer vision, as well as extensive knowledge of mechatronics, in addition to programming robots in Python language in ROS2 and realistic simulation environments such as Unreal Engine or Mujoco.
