Graduate Student Summer Intern - HCI Setup & Study
At Ψ lab, as part of the Princeton Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) group, we build and study novel interactions and intelligent interfaces that are situated in the physical world, extend our abilities, and augment our cognition. As part of our research agenda, we are interested in building interfaces for interacting with embodied AI situated in the physical world, specifically using augmented reality to support human-robot interactions.
We are seeking a motivated graduate student intern for summer 2024, who will lead the setup for a new system that integrates a mobile robot with a manipulator (using ROS) with real-time augmented-reality visualizations (using Unity). As part of the responsibilities, the student will also assist with conducting longitudinal user studies over the summer related to ongoing research projects in the group related to augmented reality interactions.
The ideal candidate has robust skill set in setting up and programming the robot using websockets, the Robot Operating System (ROS), and integrating it with Unity to create immersive AR experiences, as well as prior experience running HCI user studies. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of robotics, AR/VR, and human-computer interaction.
This position is temporary.
- Setting up a mobile robot (teleoperated or preferably autonomous) using ROS integrated with an augmented reality scene for real-time robot data visualization.
- Setting up and conducting a user study related to AR interactions.
- Analyzing the quantitative data that is collected during the user studies.
- Helping with writing a research paper summarizing the user evaluation and findings.
Essential Qualifications
Eligibility:
- Currently pursuing an MS or PhD in computer science or related fields (in rare cases, we may consider senior undergraduate students with extensive prior research experience)
- Work authorization in the US (US citizen, permanent resident, or F1-OPT)
- Living in Princeton, NJ over the summer for the in-person internship
Required Skills:
- Experience with robot programming and control (e.g., ROS)
- Familiarity with AR development tools and platforms (e.g., Unity, MRTK)
- Experience running user studies
- Quantitative data analysis methods
- Academic writing
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Unity & ROS real-time integration (e.g., ROS#)
- Prior publication in Robotics or HCI venues
- Effective communication and teamwork
