Software Engineer, Applied Robotics Engineering Mountain View, California, US

We achieve this by collaborating closely with top tier embodied AI researchers to tackle emerging challenges and push the boundaries of what’s possible. We form partnership with top robotics players in the world and actively work with them to externalize our robotics research outcome. Our team works hand in hand with infrastructure experts in robotics and GDM to deliver innovative, robust, flexible, and extensible software solutions that empower a wide array of research and partner projects. The team is a core member of Google Deepmind Robotics, which is a research team devoted to exploring how machine learning can revolutionize the world of robotics. Recent advances in Large Language Models and perception, fueled by the deep learning revolution, have made it possible to envision autonomous robots that acquire a deep understanding of their environment through sensing and learning. This requires new, scalable approaches to learning in the physical world, as well as safe and data efficient approaches to continuously improving sensorimotor skills, which will ultimately enable autonomous agents to safely act in human-centered environments.
