Application process
- The Soft Robotics Lab within the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems at ETH Zurich is inviting applications for open doctoral positions.
- 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.
- We work along four directions: soft and musculoskeletal robotics, biohybrid living systems, dexterous manipulation and learning, and simulation for embodied AI.
- We are looking for exceptional researchers in any of them.
- We do not hire against a narrow project description.
- We hire people who will define their own.
- Tell us which of our directions you want to push, and why you are the person to push it. Project background
- Today's robots are mostly rigid, fragile, and a world apart from the agility and resilience of biological bodies.
