Honda Research Institute USA (HRI-US) is seeking a self-motivated research int​Honda Research Institute USA (HRI-US) is seeking a a motivated and creative research intern to advance our work on adaptive and human-centric AI systems. This position offers the opportunity to explore novel methods for building intelligent agents that can flexibly operate in dynamic, human-AI collaborative settings. The intern will contribute to research that integrates insights from meta-reinforcement learning, meta-cognitive modeling, and grounded foundation models to support agents capable of fast adaptation, robust decision-making, and meaningful human interaction. The project emphasizes developing systems that foster effective long-term teamwork between humans and AI.ern to join our Cooperative Cognition Team in developing adaptive AI systems that can operate in complex,human-AI collaborative environments. The intern will help design and implement AI agents with metacognitive capabilities, focusing on areas such as multi-agent systems for long-horizon tasks, test-time scaling, and rapid adaptation to individual preferences. This work will advance robust, self-adapting systems and lay the foundation for AI partners that quickly learn new tasks, adjust to evolving team, and cooperate effectively with humans.
