<div dir="ltr"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:

Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Group Bremen</span><br

<br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica;
font-size: 14px;">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica;
font-size: 14px;">Salary is according to the German Federal
pay scale (TV-L 13, full time).</span><br style="color: rgb(0,

<br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica;
font-size: 14px;">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica;
font-size: 14px;">The work in this position will be carried
out within the SFB “EASE – Everyday Activity Science and
Engineering” (funded by the DFG), which is to perform
fundamental research to enable robots to do human everyday
activities, such as setting a table or loading a dish washer.</span><br
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size:

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica;
font-size: 14px;">One strand of research of the CGVR lab in
this endeavor is to develop algorithms such that robots can
“envision” the outcomes of their tentative plans by simulating
the real world around them before they actually follow through
with their plan. This requires novel methods for
faster-than-realtime physically-based simulation and the
development of predicates in order to evaluate the outcomes.</span><br

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica;
font-size: 14px;">In another strand, we will deal specifically
with the challenge of grasping. Here, the task is to develop
novel methods such that a human user can grasp virtual objects
using a virtual hand with high simulation fidelity and high
dexterity. The goal is to allow humans to interact with
virtual objects just like in real live, and to study their
grasping behaviors under a large variety of scenarios and
parameters.</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:
