San Francisco, United States Chef Robotics Full time

Chef is looking for PhD interns to help us develop cutting-edge, AI-based manipulation methods for our fleet of robots. You will work with a research mentor to conduct research on novel, learning-based approaches to robotic manipulation of food, and evaluate results on real robotic systems used for food production in a manufacturing environment. This is an exciting opportunity to apply the latest AI research to a real-life practical application, and leave a lasting impact on Chef and the food production industry.

Responsibilities and Example Projects

    • Develop DL-based computer vision, motion planning, and/or manipulation algorithms that work across thousands of different foods with varying physical properties (stickiness, density, viscosity, etc.)
    • Develop algorithms to learn ingredient properties from past data or on-the-fly and intelligently adapt manipulation parameters
    • Incorporate new sensor data (e.g. force control, additional cameras) into learning algorithms
    • Contribute to software infrastructure for training, deploying, and evaluating ML models
Requirements
    • Currently enrolled in a relevant PhD program focused on embodied AI or robotics
    • Experience with at least one of the following areas: imitation learning/learning from demonstration, reinforcement learning, multimodal learning
    • Ability to independently drive and execute on a well-scoped but open-ended research project
    • Experience with common deep learning frameworks like Tensorflow or Pytorch
    • Excellent programming skills
    • Excellent mathematical and statistical foundation in ML concepts
