CALL FOR ONE RESEARCH GRANT UNDER THE RoboTherapist RESEARCH PROJECT

Grant: Research Fellowship for Graduated Students

Reference: RoboTherapist -ISR-BIG

Application period: 28th of July to 10th of August, 2022

 

The Institute of Systems and Robotics - University of Coimbra (ISR-UC) opens a tender for the award of one (1) Research Grant (BI) for Graduated Students in the framework of the Project UIDB/0048/2020, designated by RoboTherapist - “Child-Robot Interaction (cHRI) in Pediatric Settings”, with funding supported by FCT/MCTES, funded entirely by national funds through the UIDB/0048/2020.

 

Scientific area: Electrical and Computer Engineering, Informatics Engineering, Biomedical Engineering or related areas.

 

Work plan/ Objectives: Research and development activities will be carried out in the area of artificial intelligence (Machine Learning), and robotics focusing on deep-learning approaches for automatic perception of engagement in a cHRI task performed with a NAO robot, using methods such as transfer learning for high level feature extraction (child engagement in a task with a robot), which is expected to help dealing with the scarcity of children’s datasets as well as unbalanced data. This project is the result of a consortium between the ISR-UC and CINEEIC-UC research centers, as well as University of Hertfordshire.
