Opportunity Description

Description
Work with the inventor of control barrier functions in the Safe Autonomy Frontiers (SAF) Lab. The first industry research lab in safe autonomy, developing a universal safety layer for the next generation of robotic systems: mobile robots, manipulators, mobile manipulators, and future platforms with dynamic stability. You will push the frontiers of performant safety for highly dynamic robots: CBF theory integrated with perception and learning, evaluated on next-generation robots. Your work will underpin robots operating alongside people at Amazon's unprecedented scale.

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar to join the SAF Lab. In this role, you will perform research around safe autonomy on highly dynamic robots, with a special focus on loco-manipulation and dynamically stable robots. This includes, but is not limited to, underlying theory of control barrier functions (CBFs) that enables robust and performant safety on hardware, safe reinforcement learning for...
