Senior Researcher (Post-Doc) – Assistant Professorship in Physical AI and Human-Centered Robotics Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium

This postdoc at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) focuses on developing AI-enabled robotic systems for responsible human-robot collaboration in the EU-funded OPERA project. The work addresses how autonomous robots in human-centered environments can move beyond immediate sensor response to estimate uncertainty, adapt to human preferences and values, explain their decisions, and act safely and reliably in changing conditions. The project investigates meaningful human control in human-robot...
