The Robotics Research Lab is passionate about enabling robots to reach human-level dexterity, perception, and adaptability. We are a diverse and interdisciplinary team to work on core robotics topics ranging from control and perception to task planning and critical areas related to Sim2Real and large vision-language-action models. Our interns have the opportunity to publish original research.

The GEAR group collaborative research team that consistently produces influential works on multimodal foundation models, large-scale robot learning, game AI, and physical simulation. Our past projects include Eureka, VIMA, Voyager, MineDojo, MimicPlay, Prismer, and more. One of our team's most recent milestones includes Project GR00T, a foundation model for humanoid robots. Your contributions will have a significant impact on our moonshot research projects and product roadmaps.

The Autonomous Vehicle Research Group brings together a diverse and interdisciplinary set of researchers to address core topics in vehicle autonomy ranging from perception, prediction, planning and control, to long-tail generalization and robustness, as well as advance the state-of-the-art in a number of critical related fields such as foundation models, self-supervised learning, scenario generation and simulation, decision making under uncertainty, and the verification and validation of safety-critical AI systems.

What you will be doing:

• Work with experts in robotics and learning to define your research project.

• Design and implement advanced techniques for robot perception, planning, and control, as well as new AI models for humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, and embodied agents.

• Collaborate with other research team members and a diverse set of internal product teams.

• Have a broader impact through transfer and/or open-source of the technology you've developed to relevant product groups.
