2026 Internship Robotics Teleoperator
About the Role
The Samsung SDS AI Team is building the next generation of enterprise AI, Physical AI, and intelligent automation technologies that power real-world operations at global scale. Our teams work at the intersection of robotics, generative AI, computer vision, multimodal learning, and autonomous systems to create practical AI solutions for manufacturing, logistics, cloud infrastructure, and smart enterprise environments.
Interns joining the team gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge robotics platforms, AI-driven systems, immersive VR technologies, and large-scale data operations while working alongside experienced engineers and researchers solving real-world challenges in Physical AI and enterprise automation.
We are seeking highly motivated interns to help train and operate next-generation humanoid and mobile robotic systems powering the future of Physical AI. This internship offers a unique opportunity to work directly with cutting-edge robotics platforms, immersive VR systems, and real-world AI data collection environments.
As a Robotics Teleoperations Intern, you will help robots learn how to interact with the physical world by performing real-world tasks through advanced teleoperation systems. You'll collaborate with robotics engineers, AI researchers, and data teams contributing directly to the development of Vision Language Models (VLMs), robotic autonomy, and embodied AI technologies.
This is an ideal opportunity for students passionate about robotics, gaming, VR, AI, human-computer interaction, or emerging technologies.
