Robot Learning Intern — Manipulation Policy Learning (2026 Fall)

• Current MS or PhD student in robotics or machine learning.
• Experience with robot learning, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, diffusion policies, VLA models, or visuomotor policy learning.
• Strong Python programming skills and hands-on experience with PyTorch, JAX, or similar ML frameworks.
• Strong data debugging skills, including dataset inspection, failure analysis, and metric design.
• Familiarity with ROS, ROS2, robot logs, RGB-D data, point clouds, or robot kinematics.
• Comfortable reading papers, implementing baselines, running experiments, and communicating technical tradeoffs.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with real robot data, not only simulation.
• Prior work on manipulation, grasping, or mobile manipulation robotics.
• Experience with large pretrained models, vision-language models, or multimodal representation learning.
• Publications, open-source projects, or strong course/research projects in robot learning.

By the end of the internship, the intern should deliver a clear technical result: a trained model, reproducible experiment pipeline, evaluation report, and recommendation on whether the explored method is promising for Anyware’s production manipulation roadmap.

The goal is not just a demo.

The goal is to deliver a validated model or method that demonstrates measurable improvement on defined manipulation tasks, along with clear evaluation results and a concrete recommendation for integration into the production system.
