Applications from Indian nationals are invited for Project Appointment at IIT Delhi. Appointment shall be on contractual basis with consolidated pay subject to periodic performance review, and renewable yearly or upto the duration of the project, whichever is earlier.
Project Description
This project involves the design and development of an exosuit, a soft wearable robotic device, for upper limb augmentation. The work is interdisciplinary and brings together researchers from various disciplines including control, brain-machine interface, biomechanics, materials, machine learning and human physiology and wearable electronics.
Your Role
Your role is to design and fabricate flexible/stretchable electronic circuits for distributed sensing, edge computing and application towards soft wearable robots. Mostly we will be requiring circuit design for bio-signal acquisition and multisensory fusion for motor intention mapping, which is an essential component wearable soft robot.
Why You Should Join
- Work on cutting-edge wearable robotic systems and be part of something path breaking which may eventually bring some technological revolution.
- Collaborate with leading researchers and engineers in the field.
- Be part of an innovative and fast-paced research environment and enhance your skill sets.
- Work in an interdisciplinary team for personal growth.
- Learn new areas of research like human-in-loop optimization, AI/ML for intention mapping, generative etc.
