Coarobo GK Welcomes Two UT Austin Interns via Absolute Internship to Advance Coarobo Viewport

Kyoto, JapanJune 9, 2026

Coarobo GK is pleased to announce the signing of an internship agreement with Absolute Internship , welcoming two students from The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to work on key expansions for Coarobo Viewport, the company's observability platform for physical robots and AI. The agreement was signed on June 9, 2026. The internship period runs from June 22 to July 30, 2026.

Coarobo Viewport provides real-time observability and control for physical robots and AI systems, enabling operators to monitor, diagnose, and interact with robotic deployments from any browser. The two interns will contribute complementary projects that extend Coarobo Viewport's capabilities into new interaction paradigms.

Christopher Arellano, a student at UT Austin, will develop web-based robot remote control connectivity, leveraging technologies such as Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) to transmit Robot Operating System (ROS) commands directly through the Coarobo Viewport UI. This work will allow operators to remotely drive and operate robots from a standard web browser, without requiring dedicated client software. Christopher will be based at MIRAI hive, the University of Osaka, under the direct supervision of Sebastian Carrera, R&D Engineer at Coarobo GK.

Pulun (Daniel) Zhou, also a student at UT Austin, will extend Coarobo Viewport to support extended reality (XR) headsets, specifically the Meta Quest 3, enabling users to transition from a conventional 2D interface to holographic controls for robot teleoperation. This project opens the door to immersive, extended reality workflows for robot operation and monitoring. Daniel will be based at the Coarobo GK office in Kyoto Prefecture, under the direct supervision of Lotfi El Hafi, President & Founder of Coarobo GK.

Because the two projects are highly complementary, with one advancing browser-based real-time control and the other bringing extended reality to the same platform, regular joint meetings, both online and in person, will be scheduled to ensure strong collaboration between the two interns.

We are excited to welcome Christopher and Daniel through Absolute Internship. Their projects represent two important directions for Coarobo Viewport: making robot control accessible from any web browser, and bringing immersive XR interaction to robot teleoperation. These are capabilities our users have been asking for, and we look forward to seeing them take shape.
