What you’ll work on

Full posting
  • Research different solutions of simulating robots and their ability to capture video footage en masse.

  • Create 3D digital twins of robot-setups using state-of-the-art techniques, such as Gaussian Splatting/Triangle Splatting, mesh generation, etc.

  • Evaluate performance of robots using physical AI methods, such as ACT (Action Chunking with Transformers), trained on virtually generated video reference.
