What are the responsibilities and job description for the Atlas Perception Intern position at Boston Dynamics?
Are you passionate about developing perception algorithms to drive robot behavior? As an Atlas Perception Intern, you will join a world-class team of engineers and scientists focused on creating robust perception for Atlas to interact with the world. We are seeking an intern to work on perception algorithms that enable new robot behaviors. You’ll take on a research project advised by one of our senior research scientists that will allow you to deliver results onto hardware. Responsibilities will include participating in project ideation, implementing your ideas in our existing codebase and working with the Atlas team to deploy your perception system on the robot.
