Postdoc in Consensus-Based Modular and Heterogeneous Motion Generation for Multi-Purpose Robots CNRS in France

PhD position in high-speed manipulation using compliant and flexible robots at Inria in France, with collaboration between Inria (Lille) and LIRMM (Montpellier) . The project focuses on robotics research for deformable and soft materials, with experimental validation in a waste-sorting application. The doctoral researcher will work on dynamic modeling , nonlinear optimal control , and experimental implementation for compliant robotic systems. The research also includes mechanical and mechatronic...

Open PhD position in Full-Body Design and Control of an Aerial Manipulator for Advanced Physical Interaction at the Rainbow team, IRISA/Inria Rennes, France . The project focuses on robotics , mechatronic design , aerial manipulators , full-body control , trajectory optimization , and reinforcement learning . The goal is to move beyond treating the aerial vehicle and onboard arm as separate subsystems and instead design and control the robot as a whole system for more precise, robust physical in...

Open PhD position at the Rainbow team, IRISA/Inria Rennes, France, on visual- and haptic-based control of aerial robots for the manipulation of articulated objects. The project focuses on aerial robotics, robot manipulation, visual servoing, haptic sensing, machine learning, reinforcement learning, and control for tasks such as opening doors and valves, assembling structures, and interacting with dynamic or uncertain environments. Supervision is by Paolo Robuffo Giordano and Marco Tognon (Rainbo...

Fully funded PhD position in micro-robotics and multi-material topology optimization at the FEMTO-ST Institute , Université Marie et Louis Pasteur, France. The project is framed by the RoboTop ANR-funded project and focuses on the structural shaping of fully integrated microrobots using topology optimization. The research combines analytical modeling , numerical simulation , programming , and experimental validation to design microrobots with integrated actuation and sensing capabilities. The wo...

Inria Rennes, under the supervision of Professor Marco Tognon, is recruiting strong candidates for the 2026 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF) in the field of Aerial Robotics. The position is based in the Team RAINBOW at Inria Rennes, France, and focuses on advanced research topics such as aerial physical interaction, robotic manipulation, model-based and learning-based control/planning, perception-aware interaction, and multi-robot cooperative manipulation (e.g., ...
