Internship - 3D Perception, Computer Vision & AI
Software Engineering, Data Science
Zürich, Switzerland
You will join the Advanced Technology team, who explores emerging technologies and transforms them into practical innovations that shape the future of robotics at ANYbotics. We bridge cutting-edge research with real-world industrial applications by rapidly validating new ideas, building prototypes, and transferring successful technologies into our products. Working closely with leading universities, startups, and internal engineering teams, we tackle challenging problems in robotics, AI, computer vision, and autonomous systems to create the next generation of industrial inspection robots.
The Opportunity
In this internship, you will work at the intersection of 3D perception, computer vision, and robotics to enable intuitive tasking and simulation of mobile robots in industrial environments. You will explore state-of-the-art perception, visualization and simulation technologies and prototype interactive 3D representations that bridge the semantic, vision and geometrics world for next-gen human-robot interaction and robot development.
You will work closely with experts and research partners who will provide you with guidance and mentorship. The preferred starting date is September 2026, and the full-time paid internship lasts six months.
Your Contributions
- Project Support: Work closely with our engineers and researchers on active projects across the entire software stack, from application software to autonomy stack and low-level software.
- Algorithm Implementation: Design, implement, test, and validate new algorithms and features for applications and the autonomy of our robots.
- Testing & Infrastructure: Contribute to the continuous improvement of our testing infrastructure, simulation environments, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure the robustness and reliability of the ANYmal platform.
- Code Development & Testing: Write clean, efficient, and well-documented C++ and Python code for real-time operation on the robot. Contribute to our robust testing and simulation infrastructure.
