Postdoctoral Fellowship - Robotics and AI

Ludo Robotics builds general-purpose robotic intelligence systems that use data-driven machine learning to operate robustly in real-world scenarios. The Postdoctoral Fellow will lead independent and collaborative research in robotics, artificial intelligence, and human-robot interaction, conducting experiments and deployments while translating research into deployable robotic systems.

Responsibilities:

• Design and lead an independent research agenda within the fellowship scope, in collaboration with Ludo's research team
• Conduct experiments, user studies, and field deployments to evaluate hypotheses on real hardware
• Develop theoretical frameworks and translate them into prototype robot behaviors that bridge research with real-world system implementation
• Synthesize findings from academic literature across HRI, HCI, social robotics, cognitive science, robot learning, and AI to inform research direction
• Integrate developed models and algorithms into robot control pipelines and evaluate their real-world performance
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers, designers, and product teams to translate research insights into deployable systems
• Contribute to establishing metrics and evaluation frameworks for robot behavior and system performance
• Publicize and disseminate research findings through publications, preprints, talks, and open-source releases
• Actively participate in team seminars, design reviews, and knowledge-sharing sessions
