Extreme Performance Intelligent Control Research Scientist - Perception

Details of the offer

At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we're on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We're developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we've built a world-class team in Energy & Materials, Human-Centered AI, Human Interactive Driving, and Robotics. Our Extreme Performance Intelligent Control team is looking for Research Scientists with experience in robotic perception, camera-based localization, and computer vision, as part of a bigger team that explores vehicle control at the limits and human-robot interaction on the road. We are aiming to make progress on a key challenge to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence in a human world: how do we make machines safely and effectively interact with humans to augment their capabilities in even the most extreme scenarios? As a Research Scientist, you will work with a multidisciplinary team proposing, conducting, and transferring innovative research in various aspects of robotic perception toward human-centric applications in driving, including high-performance driving. You will build prototypes that test your ideas in the real world and publish them at top academic venues. You will help to transfer and ship our most successful algorithms and models toward real-world advanced assistance systems, touching millions of lives. 
\n ResponsibilitiesConduct ambitious research in perception and localization for robotic systems that solves open problems of high practical value and validate it in challenging real-world scenariosImplement state of the art perception algorithms and research to run in real-time as a part of a high performance system including planning and controlWork with planning and control researchers to understand the interplay between perception and actionPartner with a multidisciplinary team including other research scientists and engineers across the Human Interactive Driving team, TRI, Toyota, and our university partnersStay up to date on the state-of-the-art in computer vision and robotic perceptionPresent results in verbal and written communications, internally, at top international venues, and via open-source contributions to the communityLead collaborations with our external research partners (e.g., MIT, Stanford, UMich) and mentor research interns QualificationsBachelor's or Master's degree in a quantitative field (e.g. Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Chemistry). Ph.D. or deep expertise in one key area (Computer Vision, Robotics) or related fieldsProficient in scientific Python, Unix, and robotic frameworks (e.g. ROS2.0), as well as  common DL frameworks (preferably PyTorch). Experience with distributed learning (especially on AWS) is a plusProficient in practical computer vision for robotic systems, include experience with geometric computer vision such as camera calibration, optimization and filtering/smoothing framework, key point, and descriptor extractionConsistent track record of publishing mobile robot perception work at high-impact conferences/journals (RSS, ICRA, IROS, CVPR, CoRL, ICCV, ECCV, PAMI, IJCV, etc.), centered around computer vision and perceptionYou can identify, propose, and lead new research projects, working in collaboration with other researchers and engineers to complete it from initial idea to working solutionYou are passionate about developing and applying human-centric artificial intelligence for societal goodYou are a reliable team-player. You like to think big and go deeper. You care about openness and delivering with integrityExperience with obstacle detection. Experience tracking moving obstacles is a plus
