Work History
Data/Teleoperation Intern
NEURA Robotics
09.2026 - Current
- Collect real-world robot data through teleoperation to build training datasets for Physical AI, i.e. AI models that perceive, reason and act in the physical world.
- Check data quality by reviewing recordings for completeness and consistency, flagging and filtering faulty or unusable samples before they reach training.
- Train machine learning models on the collected data and evaluate their performance to measure how well learned behaviors transfer to robotic tasks.
- Work at the intersection of robotics hardware and data-driven learning, supporting the development of embodied AI systems for real robots.
