About RoboForce
Why RoboForce
RoboForce is an AI robotics company developing Physical AI–powered Robo-Labor for dull, dirty, and dangerous work. The company’s robots are engineered for demanding industrial environments, with a focus on real-world deployment and scalability.
Responsibilities
- to join us in developing advanced AI capabilities for robotics. The internship starts from November 2026 for 3-6 months. As part of our team, you will help build the foundational AI ecosystem, spanning
- data collection, labeling, training, evaluation, and deployment.
- You will collaborate closely with a team of world-class AI engineers and gain hands-on experience solving real-world challenges at the intersection of artificial intelligence and robotics.
- Train and improve robot foundation models, including vision-language-action (VLA) models and world-action models, for precise, contact-rich manipulation in industrial settings.
- Explore new modalities and methods, including tactile and force-torque sensing, reinforcement learning, and simulation, to advance model capabilities.
- Build data pipelines for robot learning, including data collection, curation, labeling, and dataset quality assurance.
- Design and run evaluations in simulation and on real robots to measure and improve model performance.
- Deploy models on robots and optimize them for real-time onboard inference.
- Work closely with robotics, hardware, and product teams to bring models from research to production.
Requirements
- Currently pursuing an advanced degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Machine Learning, or a related field, with a graduation date in 2026 or 2027.
- Proficiency in multimodal models, modern machine learning architectures (e.g., transformers and diffusion models), and reinforcement learning.
- Proficiency in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
- Requires 5 days/week in-office collaboration with the teams.
- 3–6 months, full-time
Preferred
- Exposure to robot learning using tactile and/or vision-based sensors.
- Expertise in object pose estimation, bimanual manipulation, and synthetic data.
