  • Benchmark against baselines; tune for robustness in real-world conditions.
  • Integrate with perception and learning components in the full stack.
What we look for
  • Pursuing MS/PhD in Robotics, ME, EE, or related field (strong BS welcome).
  • Solid foundations in dynamics, optimization, and control theory; strong C++ or Python.
  • Hands-on evidence: robot hardware experience, competition teams, or research projects.
  • Should be comfortable taking ownership of tasks with light supervision.
  • Must have excellent problem-solving skills.
  • Legally authorized to do an internship in the United States for either 3 months or 6 months.
Nice to have
  • Experience with MPC, whole-body control, sampling/optimization-based planners or similar.

An example project could be could be anything from safe-stop and human-avoidance behaviors around live crews, to manipulation from a moving base on rough terrain.
