Project background

The Soft Robotics Lab within the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems at ETH Zurich, through the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC), is inviting applications for a full-time researcher position based in Singapore. We are looking for an exceptional, hands-on engineer to design, build, and test soft robotic manipulation systems for automated baggage handling inside aircraft cargo holds. Our lab's goal is to build, model, and control robots in a fundamentally different way, so that they become more flexible, dexterous, capable, and adapt better to their environment. The lab has showcased its research in robotic design and algorithms through real-world applications such as a robotic fish for underwater locomotion, soft robotic hands for pick-and-place tasks, and multi-segment arms for dynamic object manipulation.

This position is part of Project Nyala, the Automated Loose Baggage Handling System for Narrow-Body Aircraft, funded by the...
