===============================================<br>
POST-DOCTORAL SCHOLARSHIPS</p>
<p>Transverse Activity on Intelligent Robotics<br>
University of Aveiro, Portugal<br>
===============================================<br>
Apply by 2013/02/25</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Through previous projects, the Transverse Activity on <br>
Intelligent Robotics of the University of Aveiro (ATRI/UA) <br>
has been working on the integration of reactivity, deliberation, <br>
learning and interactivity for intelligent robots. In the <br>
framework of RACE ("Robustness by Autonomous Competence <br>
Enhancement"), an ongoing project funded by EU FP7, UA is <br>
currently collaborating on the development of an artificial <br>
cognitive system able to build a high-level understanding <br>
of its world by storing and exploiting appropriate memories <br>
of its experiences. The project developments will be integrated <br>
and demonstrated on a PR2 robot, from Willow Garage. UA is <br>
involved in the development of modules concerned with <br>
semantic interpretation, recording and conceptualization of <br>
experiences of plan-based activities, and human-robot <br>
interaction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In this context, two post-doctoral research scholarships <br>
are open for applications. The scholarship holders are expected <br>
to contribute to the development of supervised (based <br>
human-robot interaction) and unsupervised mechanisms for <br>
experience gathering and conceptualization, as well as appropriate <br>
memory mechanisms for storing and exploiting experiences <br>
and conceptualizations. Experiences and conceptualizations <br>
are concerned with objects, scenes and activities.</p>
<p>Applications must be submitted by February 25, 2013, via e-mail <br>
to Luís Seabra Lopes (lsl at ua dot pt). The evaluation and ranking <br>
of candidates will be communicated via e-mail.</p>

UA and ATRI<br>
-----------------------------------------------------------<br>
The University of Aveiro is in the top 2% universities <br>
in “Times Higher Education World University Rankings <br>
2011-2012”, and is also among the top 100 universities <br>
in the world with less than 50 years. UA is attended by about <br>
15,000 students on undergraduate and postgraduate <br>
programmes. ATRI/UA has been conducting projects leading <br>
to the development of integrated architectures for intelligent <br>
robotic systems. This group is well known for its successful <br>
participation in many robotic competitions (RoboCup, <br>
Portuguese Robotics Festival, AAAI, SRVC, etc.)</p>
