FieldAI develops physics-integrated Field Foundation Models—general-purpose embodied AI that provides robots (humanoids, quadrupeds, autonomous vehicles) with risk-aware perception and decision-making for construction, energy, and urban delivery.
About the Internship Field AI is building the future of autonomy—from rugged terrain to real-world deployment. We’re on a mission to develop intelligent, adaptable robotic systems that operate beyond simulation and thrive in unpredictable environments. We are offering a Summer 2026 internship focused on learning-based locomotion and planning for PhD students interested in advancing autonomous legged robot capabilities. As a research intern, you will work at the intersection of reinforcement learning, locomotion control, and learned planning, developing integrated systems that enable robots to move and navigate intelligently through complex, unstructured environments. You will collaborate closely with Field AI research scientists and engineers to design experiments, develop locomotion and planning systems, and validate ideas in simulation and on real hardware. This internship emphasizes building tightly integrated learning-based systems that connect low-level locomotion with high-level planning, translating research into practical, deployable capabilities for real-world robotics.
