About the role
The AI Research and Development Group of Agile Robots is looking for a Working Student (m/f/d) Simulation & Sim2Real, who will support the development of realism models that close the gap between simulated and real sensor and actuator data.
Your Responsibilities
- Realism Modeling: Contribute to building learned transformations that map simulated sensor and actuator outputs closer to real-world distributions.
- Transfer Evaluation: Help measure whether models trained on synthetic data perform better on real robot tasks, and identify where simulated data diverges from real conditions.
- Pipeline Support: Support the development of reproducible, production-grade simulation pipelines that other AI Research teams depend on.
- Domain Randomization: Apply randomization and augmentation techniques to reduce gaps between simulated and real sensor or actuator behavior.
- Cross-Team Coordination: Work with research teams to understand which realism gaps affect their model training the most.
Essential Skills
- Academic Background: Enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's degree programme in Computer Science, Robotics, Machine Learning, or a related field.
- Programming: Proficiency in Python for building and testing simulation or data pipeline components.
- Simulation Familiarity: Working understanding of physics simulators such as MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, or Gazebo.
- ML Foundations: Basic familiarity with how models trained on synthetic data are evaluated for real-world transfer.
Beneficial Skills
- Sensor Modeling: Exposure to sensor noise models, actuator dynamics, or domain randomization techniques.
- Robotics Software: Familiarity with ROS or ROS2.
- Reproducibility: Awareness of versioning, configuration management, or reproducible pipeline design.
