Looking for a Ph.D. student position in Emotions and Human Motion
Department of Industrial Engineering and Management
Agricultural, Biological, Cognitive Robotics Initiative
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
Research topic: Emotion recognition and expression based on Human Motion
The research project is aimed at examining the effects of people’s emotional state on their body motion. Based on data generated in lab experiments using a Motion Capture System, we will investigate the relation between human emotion and their motion and will develop models and algorithms for emotion recognition based on human motion. Such models may be used to develop robots that express emotion in their motion and/or devices that can recognize people’s emotional state by monitoring their motions. The project is a mix of data acquisition of motion data, theoretical work, and implementation work.
Requirements
The applicant must have completed a M.Sc. or M.A. thesis in Engineering, Computer Sciences, Psychology or Cognitive Sciences. The applicant must be skilled in both oral and written communication in English, can work independently as well as in collaboration with others. We are looking for candidates with strong technical and programming skills. Experience in traditional biomechanics and motor control research techniques, such as motion capture, force measurement, electromyography, programming (MATLAB/C++/python), and statistics are merits. Candidates should have interest in understanding human behavior (although should not necessarily have background in such topics) and be passionate about learning
and developing knowledge in a novel and exciting area.
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
BGU is an internationally recognized research university that attracts outstanding faculty and researchers from around the world with over 19,000 students. Advance innovative multidisciplinary robotics research at BGU is conducted under the auspices of the ABC Robotics Initiative (www.bgu.ac.il/abc-robotics)
SOCRATES
The recruitment is done as part of SOCRATES (SOcial Cognitive Robotic Agents in The European Society), a new Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network (ETN) comprising 7 universities/research institutes: Umeå University and Örebro University in Sweden, Universität Hamburg and Fraunhofer IPA, Stuttgart in Germany, CSIC Barcelona in Spain, University West of England, and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel. Additional non-academic partners are: Pal Robotics, Adele Robots, Alfred Nobel Science Park, Urquhart-Dykes & Lord LLP, Center for Digital Innovation, UMINOVA, Asea Brown Boveri, S.A, and Fundació ACE.
