Postdoctoral Fellowship - Robotics and AI

Ludo Robotics is dedicated to building general-purpose robotic intelligence systems that are robust and capable of handling real-world scenarios. They are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in Robotics and AI to conduct independent and collaborative research, focusing on translating frontier ideas into physical systems deployed in the real world.

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
