Research Intern, Robotics - NVIDIA Research

Responsibilities

• We are interested in exploring how AI agents can autonomously develop, refine, and generalize robotic capabilities by integrating reasoning, programming, experimentation, and feedback within the full robot systems stack. Our research spans robot learning, planning, simulation, perception, and control, with an emphasis on building intelligent systems that can generalize over tasks, environments, and embodiments.
• We are looking for interns with strong research and engineering skills, intellectual curiosity, and a collaborative mindset. You will have the opportunity to formulate and pursue ambitious research questions, develop novel algorithms and systems, and validate your ideas through rigorous experimentation. Research projects will be aligned with your expertise and the team's priorities, with opportunities to contribute to scientific publications and practical robotic systems.
• * Investigate how AI agents can autonomously develop, evaluate, and improve robotic programs and capabilities.
• * Develop and evaluate methods for robotic skill acquisition, adaptation, and generalization.
• * Design and conduct experiments in simulation and, where appropriate, on physical robots.
• * Collaborate with researchers and engineers across robotics and AI, and communicate research outcomes through publications, demonstrations, open-source contributions, and presentation.
• * Strong programming skills and experience in developing research software.
• * Ability to formulate research questions, implement novel methods, and rigorously evaluate experimental results.
• * Experience implementing and validating methods on real robotic systems.
• * Publications at leading robotics conferences and journals, such as RSS, CoRL, ICRA, IROS, T-RO, IJRR, or RA-L.
