ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries. Join our highly talented and motivated team of more than 90 people and work on cutting-edge robot technology.

Currently, we have an opening for one intern position to join a project team at the intersection of perception and manipulation focusing on machine learning driven applications with the starting date between November 2022 and January 2023. The ideal duration of the full-time paid internship is approximately six months.

ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the energy, process and utility sector by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach. Our customers are large asset operators and industrial service providers pioneering the use of robotics technology for inspection and maintenance. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera- and LIDAR-based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance, and AI for high-quality and consistent inspection results. We develop numerous customized hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and all related ANYbotics mechanical hardware.

As a perception intern at ANYbotics, you will be participating in daily software development tasks including feature development, testing and verification. You’ll join a team of robotics engineers with deep knowledge in robot and robotics software architecture and algorithms design. We diligently strive for a robust, highly performant and user-friendly system and constantly come up with new ways to optimize working with ANYmal.

You contibutions will be:

• Developing our ML-based solution for object pose detection further
• Improving synthetic data generation
• Hyperparameter tuning
• Deployment of trained models on the robot with a manipulation payload
