• ✈️ a travel allowance round about € 2,000

In our AI Production Lab at Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences (Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt), we're conducting research on sample-efficient data acquisition for VLA training, novel ways of data collection, and cooperation between self-driving cars, drones and humanoid robots -> https://www.thi.de/en/research/aimotion/

Our current stack is based on the NVIDIA eco-system (Gr00T, SONIC, Cosmos, IsaacSim).

If you'd like to work on:
🤖 AI-based Robotics (mobile manipulators (RB-Kairos), humanoids (Unitree G1, Agibot X2, G1)
🏭 AI-based Manufacturing
🧠 Reinforcement Learning (multi-agent, multi-objective ...)
🔬 ... something adjacent to our research projects

Don't hesitate to reach out!

Best,

Alexander
