Research, development and validation of robotics and AI solutions for the retail sector of the future (RetAIlBot), Project code EFRE1149, Program FESR 2021 - 2027

The aim of the project is to explore, develop and validate an innovative model for the integration of humanoid robotics, digital platforms and artificial intelligence models applied to the retail sector, with particular referenceto multi-brand stores characterised by a highly complex product range and a strong advisory component in the salesprocess. The project aims to investigate whether, and to what extent, a humanoid robot – integrated with a software platform based on catalogue data, stock information and AI recommendation models – can act as an intelligent interface between physical space, data and people, supporting both shop staff and end customers throughout the various stages of the customer journey. The post-doc assignment holder will hereby concentrate on the robotics part of the project while collaborating with a research group on human-computer interaction... (see call)
