Are you passionate about seeing mobile, quadruped, and bipedal robots move fluidly in complex and unstructured environments?

Do you want to take your algorithms from simulation to the real robot?

Are you looking to develop yourself in R&D+i projects and industrial environments with locomotion and autonomous navigation robotics?

At CIRCE, we develop locomotion and autonomous navigation systems for mobile, quadruped, and bipedal robots, combining simulation, algorithmic development, and experimentation on real platforms.

• You will develop localization, SLAM, and state estimation algorithms, integrating cameras, LiDAR, GNSS, IMU, and odometry.

• You will design and implement motion planning, trajectory, and autonomous navigation algorithms in structured and unstructured environments.

• You will develop locomotion and control solutions for mobile platforms, quadrupeds, and bipedal robots.

• You will apply perception and sensor fusion techniques for navigation, environment analysis, and obstacle avoidance.

• You will develop AI and machine learning algorithms applied to navigation, locomotion, and decision-making.

• You will integrate and validate developments in simulation and real robotic platforms, addressing Sim2Real transfer.

• You will develop use cases in R&D+i projects and industrial environments, evaluating the performance, robustness, and feasibility of the solutions.

• You will contribute to documentation and technical writing of proposals and projects.

• A native mobile robotics mindset: you understand the interaction between perception, state estimation, planning, control, and locomotion.

• Orientation towards real systems, with the ability to take algorithms from simulation to integration and validation on the robot.

• Technical autonomy and problem-solving capacity, especially when facing integration, dynamic behavior, and navigation problems.

• Experimental rigor: you analyze performance, failures, and limitations through reproducible tests and metrics.

• Global vision of the system: you understand how sensors, algorithms, actuators, and the environment condition the robot's autonomy.

• Ability to work in multidisciplinary teams and convert application requirements into robust robotic solutions.
