ABOUT US.

At Dyson, our goal is to build a world-leading robotics team focused on developing advanced domestic robots to go into real homes and help real people. Our multidisciplinary team is already one of the largest home Robotics groups in the world and is growing fast. We offer applicants the opportunity to work on some of the field’s most challenging problems alongside some of its best engineers and scientists.
We’ve been developing robot technology for over 20 years, but this is just the start. We have been creating the largest robotics centre in the UK at Hullavington Airfield, one of Dyson’s research and innovation hubs in Wiltshire, and are continuing to grow our expert team of research scientists and engineers to bring functional advanced robotic solutions into the home. We are looking for people to help us investigate robust solutions to diverse real-world problems in machine perception, action, and intelligence. Successful candidates will be working in a supportive environment within a team of experts that is constantly aiming to improve itself and the world of robotics.

Research Scientist interns in our Future Robotics Research team will work on novel robot learning methods with the goal of solving real world problems with domestic robotics. Our interns work at the forefront of a variety of disciplines, including reinforcement learning, imitation learning, robot perception, control, sim-to-real transfer, unsupervised representation learning, and other broader deep learning areas.
Internships are four months long and can be undertaken at any time during the year. Interns will work on a self-contained project with the potential to publish and will work closely with our research scientists and engineers.
