Openings

The HPI Lab is looking for motivated undergraduate interns and graduate students (M.S., Ph.D., and Integrated) to pioneer the next generation of Physical AI. We bridge the gap between digital intelligence and physical reality to create technologies that assist humans in their daily lives.

Research Areas

We focus on Physical Intelligence that enables AI agents to perceive, act, and interact within the real world to provide beneficial services to humans and society. Our core research includes:

• Multi-Modal Robot Action Learning: Developing adaptable and generalizable action models based on multi-modal sensors for dexterous manipulation and navigation.
• World Models & Model-based Planning: Learning predictive models of how environments evolve under an agent’s actions, and using them for planning and decision making.
• Causal & Cross-modal Representation Learning: Learning representations that capture underlying structure rather than spurious correlations, so that models transfer reliably across modalities and domains.
• 3D Visual Perception & Understanding: Advancing how physical AI agents perceive, map, and reason about complex 3D spaces.
• Human-AI-Robot Interaction: Designing seamless collaboration frameworks between humans and autonomous systems.

Who We Are Looking For

• Graduate Students: Individuals with a strong background in CS, AI, Robotics, EE, or ME and a desire to publish world-class research.
• Undergraduate Interns: Proactive students eager to gain hands-on experience with robots and deep learning frameworks.
• Skills: Proficiency in Python, PyTorch, C/C++, ROS is a plus, and a resilient “can-do” attitude toward technical challenges.
