Who We Are:
We are a rapidly growing embodied AI company revolutionizing human labor. Leveraging cutting-edge robotics and advanced artificial intelligence, we develop transformative technologies that redefine how work is done across multiple industries—empowering businesses to streamline operations, boost productivity, and unlock new possibilities.
Overview:
We are offering a thesis position focused on developing reactive, zero-shot, model-free robotic suction grasping techniques. The research aims to enable robots to generalize to unseen objects without prior training, leveraging closed-loop control and real-time feedback mechanisms.
Research Objectives:
Develop zero-shot suction grasping policies using multimodal feedback (vision, depth, force).
Design and evaluate closed-loop control architectures for real-time reactive manipulation.
Investigate model-free reinforcement learning and visual-language models for generalization to unseen objects.
Validate methods on industrial-grade robotic systems and contribute to open-source research publications.
Qualifications:
Master’s degree in Robotics, Machine Learning, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
Strong background in control systems, reinforcement learning, or robotic manipulation.
Experience with robot control frameworks (e.g., ROS) and hardware integration.
Solid programming skills (Python, C++) and familiarity with deep learning frameworks.
Strong analytical and research skills with a proven publication record being a plus.
What We Offer:
Free meals at the workplace
Flexible working hours
Option to work from home when needed
A motivated team and an open corporate culture
