Seeking new worlds, new marvels - with you.

Research Assistant in Edge AI

We are seeking a highly motivated andtalented Research Assistant to join our research team in the exciting area of Edge AI. The RA will work on cutting-edge projects focused on efficient, real-time AI reasoning on edge devices.

Key Research Projects

The RA will contribute to one or more of the following research directions:

  1. Multimodal Edge Inference Acceleration:Designing lightweight and high-performance models for processing and fusing multiple data modalities (e.g., vision, audio, sensor data) on edge devices.
  2. Embodied Intelligence on Edge:Developing optimized reasoning pipelines for embodied agents (e.g., mobile robots, drones) to perform perception, planning, and decision-making at the edge.
  3. Tiny Reasoning Models:Exploring ultra-compact AI models capable of performing efficient and accurate reasoning tasks under extreme resource constraints.
