Position Summary:
Want to help push the boundaries of Physical AI? You’ll dive into cutting‑edge research on Robot Foundation Models (RFMs), gaining hands‑on experience developing techniques that enable robots to perform precise, domain‑specific tasks far beyond what off‑the‑shelf models can achieve. You’ll design and implement methods that transfer task knowledge across robots with different form factors, ensuring reliable execution on both homogeneous and heterogeneous platforms.
As an intern, you’ll strengthen the accuracy and efficiency of Physical AI models in both simulated and real‑world environments, contributing directly to the team’s framework and pipeline for sim‑to‑real development. You’ll build practical expertise in state‑of‑the‑art robotics and AI systems, while also learning how these technologies translate into meaningful business impact. Along the way, you’ll sharpen your communication and organizational skills as part of a corporate R&D team.
This role is based in our office in Mountain View, CA. This is a full- time internship role (up to 40 hours per week for 10 weeks) from June 8th through August 13th.
