AI Intern

Agility Robotics•Fremont, CA

1d•$75 - $75

About The Position

Agility Robotics is a pioneer. Our robot, Digit, is the first to be sold into workplaces across the globe. Our team is differentiated by its expertise in imagining, engineering, and delivering robots with advanced mobility, dexterity, intelligence, and efficiency -- robots specifically designed to work alongside people, in spaces built for people. Every day, we break through engineering challenges and invent new solutions and capabilities that will one day make robots commonplace and approachable. This work is our passion and our responsibility: our mission is to make businesses more productive and people’s lives more fulfilling. About The Role: We’re seeking an AI Intern to help our humanoid robot, Digit , navigate and interact with the world. You’ll be in the driver’s seat of an applied research project, moving past theory to see your code manifest in motion on hardware. You’ll work alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry, utilizing a fleet of Digits as your playground. About the work: Lead a research project in robot learning, such as reinforcement learning for whole-body control or learning loco-manipulation skills from demonstration. Design and run experiments to evaluate learning-based robot behaviors in simulation and on hardware. Improve data collection, model training, and evaluation frameworks. Dive into robot logs and experimental data to diagnose failures and push the boundaries of what Digit can do. Present your findings to a world-class team of engineers and researchers.
