[visionlist] Intern position from Intuitive Surgical Inc

[Wenyi Zhao]

   2010 Research Intern - Computational Imaging (#ARG101)

 

 

Intuitive Surgical's Applied Research group is offering internships in
the area of computational imaging (computational optics and
illumination, image processing, computer vision). We are seeking
talented individuals to participate in exciting cross-disciplinary
projects in tele-robotic surgery. Project areas include:

*	Build high-speed imaging prototype for novel applications. 
*	Build sequential display prototype
*	Build computational illumination prototype
*	Explore computational methods for better image quality (noise,
contrast, depth) 

Expected contributions may range from building and improving prototype
systems, evaluating implementations, to algorithm development. Advanced
MS or PhD students are preferred. Other exceptional candidates will also
be considered.

 

Requirements:                                                        

*         A passion for working with a high energy team to develop novel
technologies aimed at improving the lives of hundreds of thousands of
patients.

*         Knowledge in video acquisition, computational optics &
illumination, computer vision & image processing. Hands-on experience in
one of these areas is strongly preferred. 

*         Strong programming skill in C/C++, Matlab and fast
prototyping. 

 

 

Start time:     June 2010 (flexible) 

Period:           typically 3 months; extended internships may also be
available

Intuitive Surgical (www.intuitivesurgical.com), located in Sunnyvale,
CA, is engaged in designing, manufacturing and marketing robotic
surgical systems that are revolutionizing surgery.  Its da Vinci
Surgical system includes six manipulator arms with a total of 41 degrees
of freedom, along with a stereo endoscope and 3D video display. With
over 1100 installations worldwide, surgeons perform over one hundred
thousand minimally-invasive surgeries per year.  The Da Vinci system
represents an outstanding platform for the development and application
of new technologies for surgery.
