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 150 people and work on cutting-edge robot technology.
The Opportunity
We are advancing the frontier of robotics by developing a state-of-the-art manipulation research platform that integrates the quadruped robot ANYmal with a 6DOF robotic arm. As a Robotic Manipulation Software Intern, your primary mission will be to seamlessly integrate these two robotic systems in software and ensure flawless operation in both simulation and physical environments. You will leverage existing software frameworks, test control algorithms, and validate system performance through rigorous experimentation.
The preferred starting date isFebruaryand the initial duration of the full-time paid internship issix months, with the possibility of extension.
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.
