Position description Category Mathematics, information, scientific, software Contract Internship Job title Stage From Gen-AI grasp synthesis to bimanual robotic manipulation-Saclay-H/F Subject From Gen-AI grasp synthesis to bimanual robotic manipulation H/FThis internship bridges the gap between state-of-the-art generative grasp planners and real-world physical execution. The core objective is to develop a robust robotic skill layer — integrating 6D object pose estimation with dynamic hand control — that enables a bi-manual dexterous setup to reliably solve complex assembly tasks. Contract duration (months) 6 moisJob DescriptionAs an intern at the CEA, you will have the opportunity to work in a world-renowned research environment. Our teams consist of passionate and dedicated experts, providing an environment conducive to learning and collaboration. You will have access to state-of-the-art equipment and top-tier research resources to carry out your assignments. The work performed may potentially lead to a scientific publication.ContextWhile generative AI has significantly advanced grasp synthesis in simulation, deploying these models onto physical hardware remains a critical bottleneck. End-to-end learning methods often require prohibitively large datasets of real-world demonstrations, making modular, perception-driven pipelines a highly promising alternative for complex manipulation. This internship bridges the gap between state-of-the-art generative grasp planners and real-world physical execution. The core objective is to develop a robust robotic skill layer — integrating 6D object pose estimation with dynamic hand control — that enables a bi-manual dexterous setup to reliably solve complex assembly tasks. The following works conducted at the lab will serve as a basis for the internship:https://cea-list.github.io/cotograspweb/https://cea-list.github.io/BOP-Distrib/What do we expect fron you?The internship is research oriented. The chosen candidate will work closely with a PhD candidate. The missions will be the following: Sim-to-Real Grasp Execution: Deploy and evaluate our existing generative AI grasp planners [1, 2] on physical dexterous hand hardware. Dynamic Object Perception: Integrate and adapt 6D pose estimation models (e.g., [3]) to accurately localize and track objects of interest. Robust Grasp Control: Design and implement a dedicated hand controller capable of executing dynamic and reliable grasps based on the generated plans. Bi-Manual System Integration: Scale and deploy the complete perception-to-control pipeline onto a dual-arm setup to autonomously solve complex assembly tasks.This internship is designed as a first step before a PhD.Bibliography[1] J.
