Monash University offers a fully funded PhD position in Human-Robot Interaction, focusing on developing social robots with cognitive, communicative, and social skills to engage in meaningful, long-term human interactions. The research will involve creating compositional multimodal agent models that allow robots to predict and understand user behavior, develop algorithms to enhance robot learning, and evaluate these systems through field studies. Candidates should have a strong background in machine learning for human-robot interaction and experience in robot learning and user studies.
