You will be working in the Pattern Analysis and Computer Vision (PAVIS) Research Line, in collaboration with the Rehab Technologies and EDPR units. The IIT teams are a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural group where people with different backgrounds collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out research on Computer Vision, Rehabilitation Technologies and Artificial Intelligence. PAVIS Research Line is coordinated by Dr. Alessio Del Bue. PAVIS developed an intelligent sensor network infrastructure at the Center for Human Technologies to deploy, test, and validate human-centric AI approaches in collaboration with several IIT PIs. This infrastructure is used to deploy assistive AI technology, and it will be critical to integrating computational and robotics systems for social good and healthcare applications as part of IIT’s Flagships program.

Within the research team, your main responsibilities will be:

• Developing software for cutting edge interdisciplinary technology transfer projects in the area of health care, concretely, Intelligent and Interactive environments to assist frail patients;
• Collaborating closely with other research units and groups at IIT in multi-group collaborations involving advanced software architectures, machine learning and robotics (e.g. exoskeletons);
• Prototyping of Proof of Concepts, demonstrations, and use cases together with engineers and researchers with different backgrounds;
• Providing support on pre-clinical and clinical experiments with real patients;
• Providing support on the technical preparation of documentation (e.g. technical reports).
