Research Scientist Intern, State Estimation for Dexterous Manipulation (PhD)

At Reality Labs Research, our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are driving research towards a vision of natural, seamless experiences in XR environments that are effective, enjoyable, and functionally indistinguishable from those in the real world.

As a Research Scientist Intern, you will work at the intersection of representation learning, physics-based estimation, and robotic manipulation. Your primary focus will be on developing latent space representations of object physical state with learned, high-dimensional embeddings that can capture time-varying object properties during dexterous manipulation. You will design experiments to validate these representations and demonstrate their value in practical multi-sensory setup and applications.

Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
