Research Scientist Intern, Interactive Physics Simulation for Robotics (PhD)
Meta, Redmond, Washington
The role
Meta Reality Labs Research is looking for an intern to help us develop the next-generation physics simulators for robotics applications. In particular, we are seeking candidates who have experience with physics simulations, computational mechanics, and robotics training, to devise algorithms that make simulation more effective in training control policies for dexterous robot manipulation. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
What you will do
Develop, implement, and test novel numerical methods for differentiable simulation of contact mechanics. Develop and implement strategies for training dexterous robot manipulation policies that are efficient and robust under the complexity of contact. Implement and optimize the methods devised in a larger software infrastructure, and collaborate with research scientists and software engineers to build demos and experiences based upon the developed tools.
