NVIDIA

NVIDIA’s robotics Isaac is a fast-progressing effort inside the company and will have a decisive impact on the future of the robotics industry, including on humanoid robots. We are looking for self-motivated and innovative candidates to investigate approaches to large-scale mobile manipulation problems. This internship will investigate the challenges and opportunities of recent advances including synthetic data generation, sim-to-real, foundation models for mobile-manipulation, and task and motion planning. The anticipated results of the internship include deep technical insights into the capabilities of such approaches, novel implementations, and compelling applications to real robot systems.

We are now looking for a Robotics Software Intern for Sim2Real Deployment! Join NVIDIA’s Robotics Software team to work on learning-based control for humanoids. You will collaborate with the Deployment team to deploy groundbreaking algorithms in the area of learning based policies of whole-body control or dexterous manipulation.

What you'll be doing:

• Implementing and testing robotic software stacks that run machine learning policies to control real robotic hardware: Humanoids.
• Collaborating with the team to refine machine learning policies for sim-to-real transfer.
• Improving policies and algorithms for mobility, loco-manipulation, whole-body control, and dexterous manipulation, pushing the limits of what robots can achieve.
• Learning professional software development methodologies in a commercial environment.

What we need to see:

• Currently pursuing an MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience creating and running robotics control software on physical robots.
• Proficiency in Python and C++ programming languages.
• Familiarity with common tools and libraries for robot learning (i.e. PyTorch, CUDA, middleware, physics simulation).
• Academic classes or coursework in machine learning, control and robotics systems.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Previous internships or hands-on experience with robotic systems in a commercial or academic setting.
• Experience with NVIDIA robotics tools (Isaac Lab, Isaac Gym, Isaac ROS) and hardware (Jetson platform).
• Experience with legged or humanoid robots.
• Sim2real deployment experience on robots.
