About the role

Internship in Meta Reality Labs Research focused on embodied AI and robotics, with opportunities to contribute to state-of-the-art AI algorithms, robotic systems, and open science in embodied agents. Internships last 12 to 24 weeks with multiple start dates.

Responsibilities

  • Perform fundamental and applied research to push the scientific and technological frontiers of embodied artificial intelligence.
  • Collaborate with research scientists and engineers to design and implement state-of-the-art AI algorithms and models.
  • Invent/improve novel data-driven paradigms for robotics, leveraging a variety of modalities (images, video, text, audio, tactile, etc).
  • Investigate paradigms that can deliver a spectrum of embodied behaviors - from simulated characters to real robots, and from short-horizon, low-level to long-horizon, high-level intelligence.
  • Develop algorithms based on state-of-the-art machine learning and neural network methodologies.
  • Build and benchmark new capabilities needed for the next generation of AI.
  • Conduct research towards long-term research goals while identifying intermediate milestones.

Qualifications
