Collaborations

We welcome academic and industrial collaboration proposals, particularly around hardware benchmarking, legged robot co-design, humanoid robotics, and cloud robotics.

Open Positions

We are always looking for motivated researchers to join RAIL. If you are interested in underactuated robotics, multi-body dynamics, optimal control, or reinforcement learning, please send an email with:

• Your CV
• A short description of your research interests (1 paragraph)
• Relevant publications or projects (if any)

Postdoctoral Researchers

We currently have an open postdoc position: Postdoc in Modeling of Human-like Balance and Step Recovery. This is an opportunity to transfer cutting-edge methods from humanoid robotics to biomechanics and transport safety. Application deadline: 15 August 2026. Expected start: January 2027.

PhD Students

PhD positions are advertised through Chalmers when funding is available. Speculative applications are welcome, especially if you can bring your own funding — we may be able to match strong candidates with upcoming opportunities.

Master's Thesis Students

Chalmers master's students are encouraged to reach out about thesis projects in our ongoing research themes.
