Here, progress is an expectation - for you, your team, and the world. As a global market leader, we’ll give you what you need to make it happen. It won’t always be easy, growing takes grit. But at ABB, you’ll never run alone. Run what runs the world.\nThis role sits within ABB's Robotics business, a leading global robotics company. We're entering an exciting new chapter as we’ve announced the plan for SoftBank Group to acquire ABB Robotics. SoftBank is a globally recognized technology group and investor/operator focused on AI, robotics, and next-generation computing. By joining us now, you’ll be part of a pioneering team shaping the future of robotics-working alongside world-class experts in a fast-moving, innovation-driven environment.\nThis Position reports to:\nR&D Team LeadYour role and responsibilities\nThe thesis focuses on exploring the performance of physical AIs trained on virtually generated video reference.\nDetails:\nPeriod: January - June 2027\nNumber of credits: 30 ECTS/högskolepoäng (hp)\nNumber of students for this thesis work: Two\nLocation: Partly on-site\nPhysical AI models require large amounts of training data when training for a task.\nYour responsibilities:\nResearch different solutions of simulating robots and their ability to capture video footage en masse.\nCreate 3D digital twins of robot-setups using state-of-the-art techniques, such as Gaussian Splatting/Triangle Splatting, mesh generation, etc.\nEvaluate performance of robots using physical AI methods, such as ACT (Action Chunking with Transformers), trained on virtually generated video reference.\nExplore what level of fidelity is needed from a simulation to successfully train an AI model, with the objective to find a balance between speed, implementation complexity, and performance.\nQualifications for the role\nEngineering student with background in robotics, computer science, or program with similar profile.\nExperience with machine learning and AI training, preferably in the fields of AI vision systems or imitation learning.\nKnowledge about linear algebra.\nExperience with 3D rendering and CAD and/or 3D modelling techniques is a plus.\nHands-on experience with ABB industrial robots is a plus.\nMore about us\nRecruiting Manager Stefan Westberg, +46724613140, will answer your questions.\nPositions are filled continuously. Please apply with your CV, academic transcripts, and a cover letter in English.\nWe look forward to receiving your application!\nA Future Opportunity\nPlease note that this position is part of our talent pipeline and not an active job opening at this time.
