The application deadline is March 28th\, 2026.\n\nSupport: The intern ship will provide a stipend paid directly to the intern. Housing will be p rovided in a UT Austin dorm if needed. There is no application fee.\n\nUnd ergraduate Stipend: $6000 (2 positions available)If the selected undergrad chooses to use on-campus housing and meal plans\, the cost will be deduct ed from their stipend. \n\nProject Description Mobile robots with autonomo us navigation capabilities have the potential to replace humans in demandi ng tasks such as humanitarian assistance\, nuclear cleanup\, reconnaissanc e\, and transportation. To succeed in these domains\, robots must be able to traverse unstructured terrain accurately and reliably while adapting to unforeseen situations much like a human or soldier would. \n\nThis intern ship project focuses on advancing autonomous navigation within an existing software stack\, while also verifying both new and existing behaviors usi ng large language models. The effort integrates recent advances in autonom ous robotics\, formal methods\, and language-based reasoning\, leveraging robotic sensor data and intermediate outputs in conjunction with human-wri tten specifications to enable safe navigation. \n\nThe resulting software will be implemented and demonstrated on in-house robotic platforms equippe d with the ARL software stack and representative sensor suites\, operating in unstructured\, real-world environments. \n\nStudent Role: The undergra d intern positions will consist of a combination of software and hardware engineering tasks to aid in autonomous robotics research proposed for prim arily ground (wheeled\, legged) platforms. \n\nCurrently\, the Center for Autonomy at UT Austin primarily utilizes two Clearpath Jackals\, one Husky \, and two Unitree Go2 quadrupeds. The research mentor\, Dr. Christian Ell is\, and current graduate students will help break down the research thrus ts above into discrete tasks that can be completed by students. \n\nStuden t Deliverables & Expected Participation Gains: \n\nUnique Research Opport unities: Students will integrate large vision-language models with an exis ting software stack running on real-world robotic hardware. \n\nValuable Communication Skills: Undergrad students will prepare two 15-minute resea rch presentations. \n\nPresentation 1 (Week 2): Students will define the 5W’s (Who\, What\, Where\, When\, and Why) of their scoped project. Pre sentation 2 (Week 10): Students will outline the research completed during the internship. Students will also prepare a research poster for presenta tion at the Oden Institute and a brief abstract for inclusion in an AEOP p rogram booklet. \n\nEligibility RequirementsStudents with a GPA of 3.0 or higher to be considered. Students must be U.S. citizens or have permanent resident status. The hiring process is non-discriminatory. \n\nThe student s will have a background in controls and/or robotics\, demonstrating an un derstanding of programming skills (Linux\, Python3\, ROS) and hardware ski lls (prototyping\, sensor integration). \n\n \n\nHow to ApplyCreate an acc ount to access application via AEOP's websiteRegistration will open in Feb ruary (please contact Meredith to note interest and plans to apply)Provide required materials:Unofficial TranscriptPersonal Statement (2000 words ma x)List of STEM CoursesAt Least One Letter of Recommendation (undergraduate students only)Resume optionalComplete all questions and submit your appli cation. \n\nApplication LinksAEOP WebsiteApplication InstructionsApplicati on FAQ Onboarding InformationThis spring\, UT Austin will provide interns and their families with all onboarding information and additional lab and university specific in-processing and out-processing procedures.

The application deadline is March 28th\, 2026.\n\nSupport: The intern ship will provide a stipend paid directly to the intern. Housing will be p rovided in a UT Austin dorm if needed. There is no application fee.\n\nUnd ergraduate Stipend: $6000 (2 positions available)If the selected undergrad chooses to use on-campus housing and meal plans\, the cost will be deduct ed from their stipend. \n\nProject Description Mobile robots with autonomo us navigation capabilities have the potential to replace humans in demandi ng tasks such as humanitarian assistance\, nuclear cleanup\, reconnaissanc e\, and transportation. To succeed in these domains\, robots must be able to traverse unstructured terrain accurately and reliably while adapting to unforeseen situations much like a human or soldier would. \n\nThis intern ship project focuses on advancing autonomous navigation within an existing software stack\, while also verifying both new and existing behaviors usi ng large language models. The effort integrates recent advances in autonom ous robotics\, formal methods\, and language-based reasoning\, leveraging robotic sensor data and intermediate outputs in conjunction with human-wri tten specifications to enable safe navigation. \n\nThe resulting software will be implemented and demonstrated on in-house robotic platforms equippe d with the ARL software stack and representative sensor suites\, operating in unstructured\, real-world environments. \n\nStudent Role: The undergra d intern positions will consist of a combination of software and hardware engineering tasks to aid in autonomous robotics research proposed for prim arily ground (wheeled\, legged) platforms. \n\nCurrently\, the Center for Autonomy at UT Austin primarily utilizes two Clearpath Jackals\, one Husky \, and two Unitree Go2 quadrupeds. The research mentor\, Dr. Christian Ell is\, and current graduate students will help break down the research thrus ts above into discrete tasks that can be completed by students. \n\nStuden t Deliverables & Expected Participation Gains: \n\nUnique Research Opport unities: Students will integrate large vision-language models with an exis ting software stack running on real-world robotic hardware. \n\nValuable Communication Skills: Undergrad students will prepare two 15-minute resea rch presentations. \n\nPresentation 1 (Week 2): Students will define the 5W’s (Who\, What\, Where\, When\, and Why) of their scoped project.
