PhD: Vision-Tactile Shape Control of Soft Objects

CNRS / LIRMM in Montpellier invites applications for a doctoral thesis project on advancing tactile-informed control of deformable objects under uncertainty. The work spans tactile sensing, vision, and model-based estimation to enable robust dual-arm manipulation and safe policy learning.

The project integrates online FEM, tactile signals, and uncertainty-aware planning, with collaborations across lab groups and international partners. A strong background in robotics and programming is essential.
