(M/W) AI

Job Description
To serve new industrial use cases ever more reliably, our humanoid robot must be able to detect multiple objects of interest and estimate their poses. It must also be able to understand its environment in order to navigate safely and autonomously. Our team is responsible for developing the knowledge and the codebase needed to address these challenges. We explore a range of state-of-the-art techniques, whether based on machine learning, classical computer vision, or model-based control. The Perception and Navigation team is part of the AI & Control department and works closely with other members of this department. It also collaborates regularly with other R&D teams: embedded software, electronics, and mechanics. Your Responsibilities May Include
• Conducting literature reviews related to ongoing projects
• Presenting the latest innovations from the literature or internally developed algorithms to the team
• Developing algorithms for object detection, pose estimation, or feature recognition
• Developing control algorithms for various robots,
• Working closely with other teams to ensure the overall performance of the algorithms
• Testing on real robots and in simulation
• Traveling to customer sites (e.g., healthcare centers or factories) to ensure algorithms function properly in real-world conditions and making corrections as needed
• Automated testing, code quality, and designing verification pipelines to ensure non-regression Preferred Experience We are only offering 6-month internships. Applications for shorter durations will not be considered.

Qualifications:
You are in your last year of Masters or Engineering degree in perception, navigation, machine learning, robotics, or a similar field.

Experience:
Hands-on experience in robotics, computer vision, machine learning or navigation
- whether in industrial, academic or personal projects
- will be valued. Ideally, you are familiar with software development (Python/C++), particularly in a team (good practice, version control, etc.). You are creative and innovative. You are comfortable in developing new things with a limited existing base and making prototypes. You enjoy experimental work and adapting algorithms to the constraints of real-world environments and commercial products. You are comfortable with general algorithmic, and in particular with linear algebra (matrix calculations), and physical modeling (reference frame changes, odometry, etc.). You are rigorous, able to proofread your work, and explain your calculations or algorithms clearly. You are curious and have good analytical skills, enabling you to monitor technological developments effectively and learn from scientific literature or meetings at conferences.

We apply the most advanced robotics and AI to expand what’s possible for humans in the fields of healthcare and now industry. Founded in 2012, Wandercraft is globally recognized for creating the world’s first self-balancing walking exoskeleton, Atalante X, which is used in more than 100 rehabilitation centers across four continents helping individuals with disabilities re-learn how to walk, with over a million steps taken each month. Building on over a decade of real-world experience and a proprietary neural network trained on billions of steps, we’re bringing mobility beyond clinical settings and into the home. Our personal exoskeleton, Eve, is a first-of-its-kind device designed to assist wheelchair users in standing and walking in everyday life. Now we’re expanding our platform to support industrial and assistive tasks with the Calvin family of humanoid robots. Built in just 40 days, Calvin-40 is designed to relieve factory workers from hazardous labor. Future versions of Calvin will assist persons with reduced autonomy in their daily activities. Our growth into home and industrial robotics opens new horizons while reinforcing our ability to scale innovation, improve reliability, and accelerate our impact, across our entire portfolio of products and industries. From Paris and New York, our team of over 110 engineers, clinicians, researchers, and operators is united by one mission: to design robotics that improve human life, wherever people need them most We’re not just hiring people: we’re building a team of pioneers, curious minds and problem solvers who want to change the world, step by step. Join us to shape the next generation of medical and humanoid robotics powered by AI and purpose.
