Job opportunity

I’m recruiting a research assistant for working in my EPSRC project NUMBERS, which is a highly interdisciplinary programme that aims to create a novel artificial cognitive model of mathematical cognition by imitating human-like learning approaches for developing number understanding in one of the most advanced child-like robotic platforms, i.e. the “iCub”.
