Welcome to the BioRobotics Group Website

The BioRobotics Group was founded in September 2005 with affiliation to the Robotics Research Centre (R²C) and BioMedical Engineering Research Centre (BMERC).

The main focus is to research and develop robotic technology in biomedical and healthcare related applications, with key research interests spanning robot-assisted surgery and diagnosis, rehabilitation robotics and mechatronics, and assistive technology.

The group has close working relationship with medical and robotics technology researchers and healthcare professionals, both locally and globally. Our local partners include Singapore General Hospital, National University Hospital, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, National Neuroscience Institute, Society of the Physically Disabled, National University of Singapore, etc.

We also have project collaborations with a number of overseas institutions, which include the Robotics Institute (Carnegie Mellon University), Advanced Robotics Technology and Systems Laboratory (ARTS) and Center of Research In Microengineering (CRIM) of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (SSSA), Le Laboratoire d'Informatique, de Robotique et de Microélectronique de Montpellier (LIRMM) of University of Montpellier II, etc.

Please feel free to send us a note for questions, comments, and collaboration opportunities. Meanwhile, enjoy the website.

Staff Positions (Open)

(A) Project Officer (Robotics Research Engineer)
Summary
The BioRobotics Group at the Robotics Research Centre is developing state-of-the-art robotics technology in biomedical and healthcare related applications, with key research interests spanning robot-assisted surgery and diagnosis, rehabilitation robotics and mechatronics, and assistive technology. There is an immediate opening for a Robotics Research Engineer in which the primary focus includes design, development, integration and testing of cutting edge hardware and software systems for robotic systems in a team setting. The engineer develops these products from research idea to working prototypes and also works extensively with hardware devices such as piezoelectric actuators, a variety of sensors, optical microscopes, high speed smart cameras, motorized stages, high speed communications systems and real time data acquisition, processing, logging and control. Various third party hardware and software packages will be integrated onto the robotics platform and help mature these technologies through continuous field testing.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or an Engineering Discipline or equivalent combination of training and experience.
• Systems engineering experience.
• Experience with software development, hardware/software integration and debugging of instrumented computer-controlled systems or similar robotics-related technology including the use of debuggers, memory analysis tools, module breakdown, documentation, design reviews, implementation, testing and results analysis.
• Strong programming skills in C/C++, LabView, LabViewRT, Matlab, bash shell scripting and makefiles.
• Flexible environment background to include Linux, QNX and MS Windows software development.
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills, and independent decision-making abilities. Both independent and team-oriented work will be required. The ability to work in a team setting and to interface successfully with external suppliers and partners will be important.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills, team awareness, systems performance understanding, test preparation, results analysis, on-the-fly debugging, ability to pay close attention to detail, remain calm during difficult situations and work with difficult individuals while maintaining composure.
• Enthusiasm for learning, and willingness to develop non-software skills (electronics, mechanical, etc.) as needed to complete challenging projects.
• Laboratory working environment but candidate must be willing to participate occasionally in field experiments and evaluations.
