About this role

Research Scientist, Robotics, DeepMind Cambridge, MA, USA We believe there are many problems in the world in which robotics could play a significant role in making it easier, faster and safer for people to get things done. We're looking for roboticists, designers, hardware and software engineers to help us explore these possibilities, develop breakthrough technologies, and build new products that could help millions of people. At Google DeepMind Robotics, we are pioneering the integration of AI into the physical world to power an era of physical agents. By enabling robots to perceive, plan, think, use tools, and act, we empower them to solve increasingly tasks. In this role, you will focus on building foundation models, such as advanced vision-language-action (VLA) models, which combine Gemini's world understanding with physical actions to provide direct robotic control. These include Gemini Robotics, our most advanced Gemini model for the physical world, and Gemini Robotics On-Device, our fastest Gemini model that functions without a data network. These models allow robots to perform a broad range of tasks, respond interactively to their environment, achieve high dexterity, and reason over long, multi-step sequences. Beyond model building, we are committed to advancing general-purpose robotics, specifically in areas like agentic reasoning, real-world understanding, action generalization, human-robot interaction, dexterity, whole-body control, and continual learning. To deploy these innovations at scale, you will partner with key robotics companies to bring this intelligence to the physical world across a broad array of applications. Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity's most transformative
