The Robotics group at SRI International is looking for software interns for multiple projects:
Machine learning and controls research intern:
We
are looking for an intern (STARTING IMMEDIATELY) to work on a project
for learning complex manipulation tasks. The intern will be part of a
team integrating machine learning, control and perception to allow a
robot to learn and execute new tasks. This is a research internship with
the opportunity to interact with a world-class team and develop cutting
edge technology and algorithms.
Desired Qualifications:
- currently
pursuing MS/PhD in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical
Engineering or related fields with a focus on Robotics
- strong background and practical experience in learning from demonstration for robotics
- experience integrating machine learning, control and perception
- experience integrating and implementing on real hardware is a strong plus
- experience with force control is a plus
- experience with MoveIt!/OpenCV/ROS/PCL
- good programming experience in C++/Python
Motion planning research intern:We are looking for an intern to work on a project for developing new motion planning capabilities for robots working along side people. The project aims to develop new techniques for representing and incorporating soft constraints into motion planners. All development will be carried out in MoveIt! and OMPL. The intern will have an opportunity to collaborate with a world-class team that has been at the forefront of motion planning research and were responsible for developing MoveIt! and OMPL.
Desired Qualifications:
- currently pursuing MS/PhD in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related fields with a focus on Robotics
- background in motion planning and robotics is required
- experience with MoveIt!, OMPL, ROS
- experience with motion planning on real robots using perception is a plus
- experience with 3D perception and associated libraries (e.g. PCL) with live sensor data is a plus
- good programming experience in C++/Python
