Robotics Intern – Learning Dexterous Manipulation with Mirokaï Robots

About the role

We are looking for one passionate interns to join our cutting-edge robotics team and contribute to the future of dexterous manipulation with our humanoid robots, the Mirokaï. This internship will focus on enabling Mirokaï robots to perform advanced manipulation tasks in real-world environments. The project will involve learning from demonstration, teleoperation, data collection, and deep learning methods to allow the robots to autonomously interact with and manipulate objects. The scope may include grasping, bimanual manipulation, deformable object manipulation, object handling, and everyday manipulation tasks such as folding fabric, moving objects, or interacting with tools and articulated objects. You will collect datasets using teleoperation control of a Mirokaï robot, potentially through a VR-based interface, and implement learning-based methods to infer robot actions from visual, proprioceptive, and joint-state data. This project is inspired by the latest research in robotic manipulation and provides a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of embodied AI and humanoid robotics. Your responsibilities will include • Operate the Mirokaï robots to collect datasets for dexterous manipulation tasks, including visual, proprioceptive, and joint-pose data. • Design and implement learning-from-demonstration pipelines for robotic manipulation. • Implement, test, and deploy deep learning models to enable Mirokaï robots to autonomously grasp, move, and manipulate objects. • Explore manipulation strategies for rigid and deformable objects, potentially involving one or both arms. • Evaluate learning performance on real-world manipulation tasks and refine models through iterative testing. • Integrate your solutions into our robotics and AI stack.
