What are the responsibilities and job description for the Internship – 3D Perception, Computer Vision & AI position at ANYbotics?
ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries. Join our highly talented and motivated team of more than 190 people and work on cutting-edge robot technology. We are open to internships all year round and post regularly.
We’re always looking for passionate, curious, and motivated interns to join our mission.
This is your chance to collaborate with world-class experts, gain real-world experience, and make meaningful contributions in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment.
You will join the Advanced Technology team, who explores emerging technologies and transforms them into practical innovations that shape the future of robotics at ANYbotics. We bridge cutting-edge research with real-world industrial applications by rapidly validating new ideas, building prototypes, and transferring successful technologies into our products. Working closely with leading universities, startups, and internal engineering teams, we tackle challenging problems in robotics, AI, computer vision, and autonomous systems to create the next generation of industrial inspection robots.
The Opportunity
In this internship, you will work at the intersection of 3D perception, computer vision, and robotics to enable intuitive tasking and simulation of mobile robots in industrial environments. You will explore state-of-the-art perception, visualization and simulation technologies and prototype interactive 3D representations that bridge the semantic, vision and geometrics world for next-gen human-robot interaction and robot development.
You will work closely with experts and research partners who will provide you with guidance and mentorship. The preferred starting date is September 2026, and the full-time paid internship lasts six months.
