Job Summary
About AIRoA The AI Robot Association (AIRoA) is launching a groundbreaking initiative: collecting one million hours of humanoid robot operation data with hundreds of robots, and leveraging it to train the world’s most powerful Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. What makes AIRoA unique is not only the unprecedented scale of real-world data and humanoid platforms, but also our commitment to making everything open and accessible. We are building a shared “robot data ecosystem” where datasets, trained models, and benchmarks are available to everyone. Researchers around the world will be able to evaluate their models on standardized humanoid robots through our open evaluation platform. For researchers, this means an opportunity to: - Work on fundamental challenges in robotics and AI: multimodal learning, tactile-rich manipulation, sim-to-real transfer, and large-scale benchmarking. - Access state-of-the-art infrastructure: hundreds of humanoid robots, GPU clusters, high-fidelity simulators, and a global-scale evaluation pipeline. - Collaborate with leading experts across academia and industry, and publish results that will shape the next decade of robotics. - Contribute to an initiative that will redefine the future of embodied AI—with all results made open to the world. As we prepare for our official launch on October 1, 2025, we are assembling a world-class team ready to pioneer the next era of robotics. We invite ambitious researchers and engineers to join us in this bold challenge to rewrite the history of robotics. Job Description In this role, you will be responsible for: - Designing and building scalable data collection systems that operate across hundreds of humanoid and mobile robots. - Developing semi-autonomous teleoperation systems that ensure low latency, high controllability, and minimal operator workload. - Creating automated pipelines to deploy trained models and rigorously evaluate them in both simulation and real-world robotic platforms. - Working closely with the Vision-Language-Action (VLA)Company Info
The AI Robot Association (AIRoA) is a non-profit organization established in December 2024 with the objective of integrating robots and AI to revolutionize robot development technologies and promote the widespread use of robots in society. Its main activities include advancing AI robot development through collecting, storing, managing, and publicly disclosing data for foundational models, as well as developing, operating, and sharing foundational and individual models. The association also focuses on promoting AI robots in society by measuring and publicizing their efficiency gains and assessing and publishing their safety evaluations. AIRoA aims to build a scalable robot data ecosystem by facilitating open and large-scale data collection and foundational model development across industries to achieve advanced general-purpose robots.Login to see all information about offers.
