Research Scientist, World Models for Robotics

Research Scientists work on a diverse and stimulating range of projects including: inventing algorithms and prototype applications, working with real robots in the lab and outside the lab tackling real world use cases. Research Scientists work in large collaborative teams to make cutting edge breakthroughs to advance Robotics AI. We believe large foundation models will transform general purpose Robotics like with our Gemini Robotics models. This role will involve working with a diverse multi-functional team that builds the future of robotics. 

Key responsibilities:

• Design, implement, train and evaluate large world models and algorithms for robotic agents. Make breakthroughs and unlock new robot capabilities.
• Write software to implement research ideas and iterate quickly.
• Leverage your expertise to participate in a wide variety of research building towards breakthroughs in general purpose robotics and contributing towards our flagship Gemini Robotics models.
• Work effectively with a large collaborative team with fast-paced agendas to meet ambitious research goals.
• Working with real robots in the lab to bring these breakthroughs to life in real hardware
• Generate creative ideas on how to improve the fidelity, interactivity, and generalization of world models, set up experiments and test hypotheses. Report and present research findings clearly and efficiently both internally and externally.
