# Intern - Mechanical Engineer

Human Computer Lab is a research lab building character robots that feel alive and responsive. Our first robot, LeLamp, explores a new category of consumer robotics where everyday objects become interactive and help us reshape our attachment to technology. Our goal is to push the frontier of human-robot interaction by making technology more legible, emotionally intuitive, and human-centered. We are building the foundation for a new generation of robots designed for everyday environments. What to expect In this role, you will be responsible for building the robotics hardware systems that power robot expression, communication, and behavior. You will work closely with ML/software engineers to build real-time robotics systems, and integrate robotic hardware with machine learning - turning research and simulation into reliable, production-ready robots. In this role, you will: Develop robotic hardware that physically expresses perception, intelligence, and behavior Build robotic hardware that supports tasks such as computer vision, audio processing, and interaction understanding Integrate ML systems with robotic hardware and embedded systems Improve robot perception, responsiveness, a
