Intern (m/f/d) Vision-Language-Action Models

Summary: Interns will train and evaluate Vision-Language-Action models that convert camera images and language instructions into robot movements. Responsibilities include running experiments, developing model code, preparing datasets, and testing models on real robots.

The AI Teams at Agile Robots are looking for an Intern (m/f/d) Vision-Language-Action Models, who will help train and evaluate the models that turn camera images and language instructions into robot movements.

### Responsibilities

• Experiments: Run training experiments and ablation studies, changing one part of the model, data, or training setup at a time and recording its effect on performance.
• Model Development: Implement and test changes to model code and training pipelines under the guidance of the researchers you work with.
• Robot Evaluation: Test trained models on real robots, measure how often they complete their tasks, and analyze the failures.
• Dataset Preparation: Prepare, clean, and analyze robot datasets that combine camera images, robot states, and actions, including checking that recordings are complete and aligned in time.
• Data Collection: Help collect new demonstration data on real robots, for example by teleoperating a robot arm through a task.

### Essential Skills

• Education: Enrollment in a Master’s programme in computer science, robotics, machine learning, engineering, or a related field.
• Deep Learning: Hands-on experience training neural networks in Python with PyTorch or a comparable framework, for example in coursework, a thesis, or a project.
• Debugging: Writing maintainable code and tracing a failing run back to its cause in the data, the code, or the setup.
• Data Handling: Experience loading, cleaning, and analyzing large datasets in Python with libraries such as NumPy or pandas.

### Beneficial Skills

• Robot Learning: Familiarity with vision-language-action models, imitation learning, or transformer-based robot policies.
• Robot Hardware: Hands-on work with real robots or robotics software, for example in a lab, a student team, or a thesis.
• Compute Clusters: Running and monitoring jobs on remote GPU machines or with a cluster scheduler such as SLURM.
