Machine Learning & Robotics Internship 2027
Pathrobotics · Columbus, Ohio
About this role
**Build the Path Forward** At Path Robotics, we’re tackling a trillion-dollar opportunity by doing things that have never been done before to support an industry with a lack of skilled labor. We’re looking for a **Machine Learning & Robotics Intern** to spend **12 weeks next spring or summer** building real software for robots that **sense, plan, and act**. You’ll be matched with a project aligned to your strengths—whether that leans more toward **robotics** (planning, control, kinematics) or **machine learning** (perception, reinforcement learning, deep learning). You’ll see your code run on **live robotic cells** doing real work, paired with a mentor and working alongside our **Robotics** and **Weld Intelligence** teams from day one. --- ## What You’ll Do Every intern owns a scoped, production-relevant project from design through testing on real hardware, then presents results to the team at the end of the summer. Depending on your interests, your project could include: - **Robotics:** motion and trajectory planning, inverse kinematics and reachability, real-time control and feedback loops, visual servoing, or localization and navigation for mobile platforms. - **Machine learning:** vision-based perception, reinforcement learning or imitation learning for motion and control, learned planners, or sim-to-real training in tools like **Isaac Sim**, **MuJoCo**, or **Gazebo**. - **Robot learning:** behavioral cloning, diffusion policies, or vision-language-action (VLA) models for manipulation, trained on multi-modal data such as images, force, and torque. - **Where they meet:** combining classical robotics with learning-based methods to make our robots faster, smarter, and more capable. --- ## Who You Are You don’t need to be an expert in both robotics and ML—**depth in one** and **curiosity about the other** is what we’re after. - Currently pursuing a **Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D.** in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field. - Strong programming skills in **C++ and/or Python**. - Coursework, research, or project experience in **robotics** (planning, controls, kinematics, dynamics) **or** **machine learning** (computer vision, deep learning, reinforcement learning). - For robot learning projects: coursework or research in imitation learning, reinforcement learning, or diffusion-based policies—ideally applied to robot manipulation. - Comfortable working on **Linux** and using **Git**. - You learn fast, enjoy debugging hard problems, and can explain your work clearly to people outside your specialty. --- ## Why You’ll Love It Here - **Real ownership:** your project ships to robots doing real production work, not a sandbox. - **Mentorship + collaboration:** a dedicated mentor plus regular time with engineers across robotics, ML, and hardware. - **Daily free lunch** to keep you fueled and connected with the team. - **Competitive hourly pay**. --- ## Who We Are We love coming to work to solve interesting and tough challenges, and we welcome and value unique ideas. We encourage a diverse and inclusive environment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
