Robotics Manuplation Intern

What You'll Work On

• Develop and test applications for 6-DoF/7-DoF robotic manipulators such as Flexiv, Universal Robots, LeRobot, or equivalent platforms.
• Work with joint space, Cartesian space, end-effector poses, coordinate frames, and transformations.
• Implement and test Forward Kinematics (FK) and Inverse Kinematics (IK).
• Develop motion and trajectory execution workflows.
• Work with ROS2 nodes, topics, publishers, subscribers, services, TF/TF2, and robot interfaces.
• Use MoveIt2 or equivalent frameworks for motion planning and collision checking.
• Integrate robotic manipulators with cameras and perception systems.
• Perform robot, camera-to-robot, and hand-eye calibration.
• Develop pick-and-place, manipulation, and automation experiments on physical robots.
• Test robotic applications in simulation and transfer validated workflows to physical robots.

Must Have

• Bachelor's/Master's degree or final-year student in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Science, or related field.
• Strong understanding of robotics fundamentals.
• Understanding of 6-DoF robotic arms and basic manipulator concepts.
• Good understanding of 3D Cartesian space, coordinate frames, and transformations.
• Understanding of Forward and Inverse Kinematics concepts.
• Programming experience in Python; C++ exposure is an advantage.
• Familiarity with Linux/Ubuntu and Git.

Good to Have

• ROS2 and TF/TF2.
• MoveIt2, OMPL, or other motion-planning frameworks.
• Flexiv, Universal Robots, LeRobot, or similar robotic arms.
• Robotics simulators such as Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or MuJoCo.
• Jacobians, singularities, trajectory generation, collision detection, and avoidance.
• Sim-to-real workflows.
• Robotic grippers/end-effectors.
• Vision-guided manipulation, 3D perception, VLM/VLAM, or AI-based robotic manipulation.
