Research Scientist Intern, Robotic End Effector (PhD)

At Reality Labs Research, we are at the forefront of pioneering research into new technologies aimed at revolutionizing user interface technologies for the next generation of virtual and augmented reality experiences and robotics. Our focus is on developing novel actuation and transmission, sensing, and control policies, addressing both integration and manufacturing challenges to shape the future of robotics and robotic dexterous manipulation. As a Research Scientist Intern, you will work at the intersection of advanced transducers, novel electromechanical design, robotic control, machine learning, and human-robot interaction, and you will have the opportunity to work with world-leading collaborators and mentors in these fields. Your primary focus will be on developing new end effectors for dextrous manipulation and teleoperation applications based on an innovative mixture of passive and active technologies. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
