Senior Research Scientist, Large Behavior Models

About this role

At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we’ve built a world-class team advancing the state of the art in AI, robotics, driving, and material sciences.

The Vision We envision a future with robots that help people in our real environments with interactions that allow robots to understand, adapt, and grow with us. We believe that robots should and will work well alongside people: helping where wanted, and ultimately enabling people to spend more time on the activities they enjoy most. To achieve this, robots need to be able to operate reliably in messy, unstructured environments. We must also create robots that people can understand, collaborate with, and rely on. The Team Our goal is to revolutionize the field of robotics, enabling long-horizon dexterous behaviors to be efficiently taught, learned, and improved over time in diverse, real-world environments with people.Our team has deep cross-functional expertise across hardware, simulation, perception, controls, and machine learning. We measure our success in terms of fundamental capabilities development, as well as research impact via open-source software and publications. Come join us and let’s make general-purpose robots a reality.   Some of our ongoing work is highlighted here. The Opportunity We’re looking for a driven researcher with a “make it happen” mentality. The ideal candidate is able to operate independently when needed, but works well as part of a larger integrated group at the cutting edge of state-of-the-art robotics and machine learning. If our mission of revolutionizing robotics through machine learning resonates with you, get in touch and let’s talk about how we can create the next generation of AI-powered capable robots together!
