Meta(Meta Platforms)岗位:Research Scientist Intern, Robotics Responsibilities
Develop novel state-of-the-art algorithms for robot perception, manipulation, navigation, and control, leveraging modern deep learning and foundation-model techniques.
Train and evaluate robot learning policies — including imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and vision-language-action models — in simulation and on physical hardware.
Based on the project, help analyze and improve the efficiency, robustness, scalability, and real-time performance of algorithms deployed on robot platforms.
Perform research to advance the science and technology of intelligent machines.
Perform research that enables learning the semantics of multimodal and embodied data (images, video, depth, point clouds, tactile and force signals, proprioception, language, audio).
Contribute to data collection, teleoperation, and sim-to-real transfer pipelines that support large-scale robot learning.
Collaborate with researchers and cross-functional partners across hardware, controls, software, and product, including communicating research plans, progress, and results.
Publish research results and contribute to research that can be applied to Meta product development.
