Figure AI

Winter 26' Internship

This winter, I interned at Figure AI, a leading commercial humanoid robotics start-up valued at $39 billion. As a mechanical design intern, I contributed to actuator design, hand testing, and robot development, supporting the engineering of humanoid systems for real-world deployment.
