Perception Software Engineering Internship

ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries. Join our highly talented and motivated team of more than 190 people and work on cutting-edge robot technology.
The Opportunity
We are pushing the boundaries of robotics by creating a cutting-edge perception research platform that combines the quadruped robot ANYmal with advanced vision systems. As a Robotic Perception Intern, your primary goal will be to develop and refine software solutions for stereo vision algorithms, enabling advanced perception capabilities for the system. You will work with state-of-the-art software frameworks, train and optimize neural networks for stereo matching, and validate performance through thorough testing in both simulation and real-world environments.
You will work closely with Robotics experts who will provide you with guidance and mentorship. The preferred starting date is March, and the full-time paid internship lasts six months.

Market & Our Technology
ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the energy, process, and utility sector by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach. Our customers are large asset operators and industrial service providers pioneering the use of robotics technology for inspection and maintenance. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera- and LIDAR-based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance, and AI for high-quality and consistent inspection results. We develop numerous customized hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and all related ANYbotics mechanical hardware.
