# Optical Sensing Intern - Robot Perception

At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality. Level: Internship or co-op, MS students; 4-6 months duration - starting as soon as possible You’ll help decide how our robots see. Our robots work around people in real warehouses, and every sensor has conditions that defeat it: bright sunlight, shiny floors, glass, dust, heat. Your experiments will tell us which settings to ship, where each sensor breaks and why, and what we should do about it. You’ll work directly with our perception and hardware engineers, and your findings go straight into sensor choices, settings and the requirements our detection al
