Spring Semester 2024 Internship
Koshee is looking for students interested in learning and applying their skills in C++ to outdoor robotics platforms. We provide access to latest generation hardware, including CPU/GPU platforms like the Nvidia Orin and Jetson TX2, latest survey-grade outdoor localization equipment from Emlid and Matterport, advanced cameras like OAK-D Fixed focus cameras, and powerful, rugged robotics chassis.
Each student is provided with hands-on mentorship with a computer scientist and is surrounded by a team of interns and students from CS, CE, and ME backgrounds working on senior design projects involving real-world outdoor robotics. The Spring 2024 program will continue work on an outdoor automated 4k psi pressure washer, and the internal robotics controller and drivers for accessing, analyzing, and actioning camera feeds, remote controllers, onboard automation/autonomy, machine learning pipelines, motor controllers, and various sensors and actuators.
