How will robots collaborate with humans in the future?

We develop intelligent systems that understand language, perceive their environment, interpret situations, and act autonomously in the physical world.

In our team, we combine Foundation Models, Agentic AI, Computer Vision, and Robotics to create intelligent Physical AI systems for the production and logistics environments of tomorrow. As a working student, you will contribute to real-world development projects and apply state-of-the-art AI technologies directly to robotic platforms.

Together with experts from production, logistics, and vehicle development, you will explore, develop, and validate new capabilities for autonomous and assistive robotic systems. This role offers the opportunity to transfer cutting-edge research and advanced AI technologies into practical industrial applications.

Your Responsibilities

· Research and develop intelligent Physical AI applications on modern robotic platforms

· Build multimodal agent systems capable of understanding language, perceiving their surroundings, and autonomously making decisions

· Develop computer vision and perception components for interpreting complex real-world environments

· Integrate Foundation Models, Vision-Language Models, and agent frameworks into robotic applications

· Design, evaluate, and document experiments on real robots and simulation environments

· Develop and validate new approaches for human-robot interaction

· Evaluate emerging research approaches and technologies in AI, Computer Vision, and Robotics

· Collaborate with experts from production, logistics, and vehicle development to create practical industrial solutions

Your Profile

· You are pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Robotics, or a related field and are currently in an advanced Bachelor's or Master's program.

· You are passionate about multimodal AI systems, AI agents, and Physical AI.

· You work independently, structure complex tasks effectively, and bring your own ideas to the table.

· You enjoy exploring new topics and staying up to date with emerging technologies and research trends.

· You have good communication skills in German or English.

Ideally, you have initial experience with

· Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning or Imitation Learning

· Foundation Models, Large Language Models (LLMs) or Vision-Language Models (VLMs)

· AI agents, planning systems, or agentic architectures

· Computer Vision and multimodal AI systems

· Robotics, perception, or autonomous systems

· Linux-based development environments and modern software engineering tools

What We Offer

· The opportunity to help shape the next generation of intelligent robotic systems

· Work on real-world challenges at the intersection of AI agents, Computer Vision, and Robotics

· Access to modern robotic platforms as well as state-of-the-art Foundation Models, Vision-Language Models, and agent frameworks

· Direct exposure to real-world use cases in production, logistics, and vehicle development at Mercedes-Benz

· An innovative environment with a high degree of creative freedom and ownership

· Close collaboration with experts in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Software Engineering

· Flexible working hours and remote work opportunities

· The opportunity to conduct student research projects, Bachelor's theses, or Master's theses in the field of Physical AI and Robotics
