Research Scientist Intern - 3D-grounded Generalist Model for Robotics (PhD)

The Meta Reality Labs Research Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of contextual AI and robotics.

The Surreal Vision group at RL Research is seeking exceptional Research Scientist interns to contribute to fundamental research on 3D-grounded generalist models for robotics.

These models will form the foundation to enable accurate and efficient zero-shot general robotic manipulation in daily environments. As a research intern, you will tackle cutting-edge research challenges, innovate model architectures and training recipes, and deliver general robotics policies.

Your research project may cover or relate to the following topics: - Generating and delivering effective data and training recipes to significantly improve the 3D/spatial understanding of large-scale foundation models.

- Developing generalist robotics policies based on large-scale 3D foundation models with interactive/real-time performance. - Validating the developed robotics policies both in simulation and on real robots, with the stretch goal of delivering a live demonstration on physical hardware.

Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year. Some projects may require a minimum of 24 consecutive weeks.
