Research Scientist Intern, Humanoid Control & Dexterous Manipulation (PhD)
Meta, Redmond, Washington
About the job
Meta Reality Labs Research is a team of researchers and engineers pushing the frontier of AI, robotics, and AR/VR technology. Within RL Research, our team is building the next generation of full body loco-manipulation and dexterous hands control policies. We are seeking a Research Scientist Intern to help take novel ideas all the way from inception to real hardware. Interns in this role may work across the full robotics stack: data collection and processing, algorithm development and model training, and eventually running the algorithm on real robots. It involves working with research scientists and engineers together as a team, fast prototyping and rapid iterations of ideas, and debugging algorithms on real hardware. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
Responsibilities
Independently design, develop, and analyze novel research ideas related to robotic simulation and control, with a focus on loco-manipulation and dexterous manipulation. Deploy, test, and debug algorithms on real robots for sim-to-real transfer. Collaborate with other researchers and engineers across multiple disciplines. Communication of research agenda, progress and results to a diverse audience regularly. Publish research results at top conferences and release code that contributes to the field of robotics.
