About the Role
Meta Reality Labs Research (RL Research) is developing AI, Robotics, and AR/VR technology. The Surreal Spatial AI group is seeking Research Scientist Interns to build machine perception, 3D generative systems, and control technology for robotic agents and AI systems. Interns will work on robot foundation models, including world action models (WAMs) and vision-language-action models (VLAs), exploring novel architectures, grounding models in 3D, learning action and goal representations, and integrating new sensor modalities. The internship focuses on producing open science to enhance embodied agent intelligence.
Responsibilities
- Perform fundamental and applied research at the intersection of multi-modal generative AI, predictive world modeling, embodied reasoning, and robotic manipulation.
- Collaborate with research scientists and engineers to explore novel architectures for robot foundation models, such as WAMs and VLAs.
- Ground robot foundation models in 3D, using 3D computer vision and scene understanding.
- Develop action and goal representations that transfer across embodiments, from human video to different robots.
- Integrate new sensor modalities, such as tactile sensing and audio, into robot foundation models alongside vision and language.
- Design and run empirical evaluations, writing robust code for physical hardware and simulators.
- Contribute to publications and open-source releases.
Requirements
- Currently have, or are in the process of obtaining, a PhD degree in Computer Vision, Robotics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, or a related STEM field.
- Research experience in robotics, 3D computer vision, deep learning, such as multimodal or 3D generative modeling, predictive world models, scene understanding, egocentric perception, learning from demonstration, reinforcement learning, or learning-based robotic control.
- Experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and Python.
- Experience communicating research to public audiences of peers.
- Interpersonal experience: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration.
- Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
