Robotics Intern - Summer 2025

Warp () is reimagining how freight moves. We're building a modern middle-mile logistics network powered by smart software, real-time visibility, and next-generation automation.We're looking for a Robotics Intern from a top-tier engineering school to help us prototype a humanoid robot"”built on the Unitree platform"”that can operate a manual pallet jack in a warehouse environment. This is an ambitious R&D challenge with massive real-world upside.🛠 What You'll **Design, prototype, and test end-effector systems and motion routines for a Unitree humanoid robot to control and maneuver pallet jacks.Implement and refine perception, planning, and manipulation behaviors using ROS, simulation environments, and real-world testing.Work closely with Warp's engineering and ops teams to validate the robot's performance in active warehouse settings.Push the limits of what's possible with low-cost humanoid platforms.✅ What We're Looking *Currently pursuing a degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, CS, or a related field from a top-tier engineering program.Experience with robotic platforms (especially bipedal or humanoid), ROS, Gazebo/Isaac Sim, and sensor integration (e.g., vision, LiDAR).Strong understanding of robotic kinematics, dynamics, and control systems.Hands-on experience with mechatronics, motion planning, and manipulation.A creative and practical builder excited by real-world deployment"”not just lab demos.💡 Why ****Work on one of thefirst real industrial use cases for affordable humanoid robots.Learn directly from a team reshaping logistics through AI, automation, and modern infrastructure.Potential for full-time opportunities and ownership of a high-impact robotics initiative.
