- Conduct fundamental and applied research to push the boundaries of embodied AI.
- Collaborate with engineers and scientists to design and implement advanced AI models.
- Invent and improve data-driven paradigms using diverse modalities like images, video, text, audio, and tactile data.
- Investigate behaviors ranging from low-level control to high-level intelligence.
- Develop algorithms using current machine learning and neural network methodologies.
- Build and benchmark new capabilities for next-generation AI systems.
- Define and execute research goals while identifying intermediate milestones.
What you'll need#
- Current enrollment in a Ph.D. program for Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or a related STEM field.
- Experience in areas such as motion planning, sim-to-real transfer, reinforcement learning, dexterous manipulation, vision-language models, or egocentric perception.
- Proficiency with machine learning frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Ability to collaborate across groups and cultures.
- Intent to return to your degree program after the internship.
- Hands-on experience with real robot hardware, including data collection, debugging, or policy deployment.
- A record of research results through accepted papers in conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ICRA, IROS, RSS, CoRL, CVPR, ICCV, or ECCV.
- At least one year of experience in robotics or an equivalent advanced degree background.
- Experience designing robotic systems, infrastructure, and platforms.
- Ability to analyze complex, high-dimensionality data from multiple sources.
- Experience solving complex problems by evaluating trade-offs and alternative solutions.
- Must hold work authorization in the United States at the time of hire and maintain it throughout employment.
Location & details#
