Research Intern- Autonomous Perception & Navigation Systems

About the Role

We’re seeking a Research Intern passionate about applying AI and machine learning to autonomous UAV perception and navigation . You’ll explore and prototype learning-based algorithms that help drones see, localize, and move intelligently — even in dynamic or GPS-denied environments.

This internship provides hands-on exposure to simulation environments, sensor-fusion pipelines, and embedded AI systems.

Key Responsibilities :

• Support research and prototyping of AI / ML algorithms for perception, tracking, localization and navigation.
• Work on multi-sensor fusion combining visual, inertial, and positional data for improved environmental understanding.
• Train and test computer vision or deep learning models for detection, motion estimation, and environmental understanding .
• Use high-fidelity simulations with physics-based environments to generate datasets and test autonomy pipelines.
• Assist in integrating perception and navigation modules into flight-control or hardware-in-the-loop setups.
• Optimize real-time inference and video / data streaming pipelines for embedded AI systems.
