Two Open PhD Positions with the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality 
Group Bremen

Salary is according to the German Federal pay scale (TV-L 13, full time).

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.
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.
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.
