Robotics Intern - Robotics and Human Aware Interaction and Learning

Join Toyota Research Institute's Robotics and Human Aware Interaction and Learning team as a paid 12-week internship to develop working code prototypes, interact with team members, and publish research to peer-reviewed venues. The team is working to create general-purpose robots capable of accomplishing various tasks, and the intern will focus on research areas such as data-efficient algorithms, hierarchical reasoning frameworks, and robustifying data-driven robot policies to human presence.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a degree (Ph.D., M.S.) in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Publication record at top-tier robotics/ML conferences (RSS, CoRL, ICRA, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV).
• Hardware experience is strongly preferred, especially toward deploying learned policies on real robotic systems.
• Experience with machine learning and familiarity with large datasets, models, and benchmarks.
• Strong software development skills in Python. Experience in C++ is very useful, but not strictly required.
• Experience conducting user studies involving real robot hardware.
• A ‘make it happen’ approach and comfortability with fast prototyping and running informative experiments.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off benefits (including holiday pay and sick time)
