Recently, ByteDance's Volcano Engine team has launched an extensive recruitment campaign, specifically targeting 'Senior Experts in Operational Algorithms (Embodied AI).' The focus of this recruitment is on advancing research and development in the realm of 'humanoid embodied robots,' with attractive monthly salaries spanning from 95,000 to 120,000 yuan. The primary objective of this role is to design and develop embodied intelligent agents that seamlessly integrate cutting-edge large models and demonstrate sophisticated operational abilities. Prospective candidates must possess a master's or doctoral degree in computer science or a closely related discipline. Historically, ByteDance has concentrated its robotics efforts on wheeled logistics robots, such as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). This latest recruitment drive signifies a significant expansion and enhancement of ByteDance's robotics strategy. Moreover, ByteDance has also revealed a partnership with Seres Group to collaboratively investigate the large-scale production and practical application of humanoid robots. A joint venture has been established as part of this initiative, though official statements from both parties are still pending.
