Full-time Temporary Student Research Assistant (Robotics) (Summer 2024)
(to commence from June to August 2024)
Intelligent robots with localization and auto-piloting capabilities are designed to operate autonomously, without human intervention. These robots are equipped with various sensors and navigational methods such as LiDAR, computer vision, and GPS, allowing them to identify their surroundings and navigate through them accurately. Through the integration of advanced algorithms and machine learning, these robots can adapt and respond to changes in the environment, enabling them to perform tasks in a wider range of applications such as transportation, logistics, agriculture, mining, and search and rescue missions. Intelligent robots with localization and auto-piloting capabilities become increasingly popular in various industries, offering increased efficiency, productivity, and safety. With ongoing advancements in technology, we expect to see more sophisticated and capable intelligent robots in the future.
We are looking for Full-time Temporary Student Research Assistants (Robotics) for Summer 2024. The role involves development of robotic algorithms and prototypes and delivery of hands-on workshops to the Innowing community. Topics will include, but are not limited to, mechanical design and prototyping, motion planning and control, efficient computer vision for robotics, and intuitive human-robot interface. Additionally, they will participate in application development projects with other academic disciplines or industry partners, as coordinated by the Innovation Academy.
Applicants must be current members of the Innovation Wing, with a strong background in coding or mechanical engineering, excellent written and spoken English skills, strong interpersonal and communication abilities. They should demonstrate high levels of motivation, responsibility, and the ability to work independently, under pressure, and within tight deadlines. The role may require work outside of regular office hours.
The appointment will commence from June to August 2024, with the possibility of part-time appointment in the next academic year, subject to satisfactory performance and funding availability.
We welcome undergraduates from all Faculties and MSc students to apply for this job. Interested applicants, please send your

Review of applications will commence as soon as possible and continue until the posts are filled.
Full-time Temporary Student Research Assistant (AI) (Summer 2024)
(to commence from June to August 2024)
Generative AI and AI foundation models, such as GPT, have demonstrated the ability to produce realistic and high-quality content across various media, including text, images, and even videos. These creations can be generated rapidly using simple language commands, resulting in significant time and cost savings. Additionally, these models can extend beyond content generation and be leveraged to develop AI agents capable of reasoning and planning tasks. By combining generative AI with agent-based systems, we can unlock new avenues for intelligent decision-making and problem-solving.
We are looking for Full-time Temporary Student Research Assistants (AI) for Summer 2024. The role involves designing and delivering workshops on fundamental software and tools relevant to various generative AI competencies. Topics will include, but are not limited to, LLM fine-tuning, AI agents, AI and robotics, computer vision, and story generation. Additionally, they will participate in application development projects with other academic disciplines or industry partners, as coordinated by the Innovation Academy.
