**WHO WE ARE**
At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society. Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centers around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
**YOUR TEAM**
You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where material, mechanical and electronic engineers, computational scientists, physicists, chemists, biotechnologist and biologists collaborate, each with their expertise, to carry out a scientific activity with a shared research goal.
Your main responsibilities will be the development of a modular sensing/actuation platform based on a network of miniaturized low-power multimodal transducing devices for wearable bio-interfaces.
The activity is aimed at the designing, developing and testing a set of neurorobotic sensors and control systems for twinning physio-motor processes in animal models. The developed wearable and skin sensors will provide signals and information on motor activity, which will be used by other partners of the NRTWIN-RAISE project to generate optimal robot policies depending on the human physiological state.
