Key job responsibilities
* Scene perception fusing multiple sensing modalities, simultaneously detecting and tracking many 3D objects in spatially complex and time-varying workspaces.
* Visual servoing and impedance (force) based control to achieve the highest levels of spatial precision.
* Experimenting and evaluating new sensors and new mechanical embodiment designs.
* High-level task planning for long-running and ambiguous automation roles with broad exception paths.
* Whole-body motion planning with tiered levels of dynamic fidelity and time horizons to trade off performance, completeness, and computational complexity.
* Localization challenges in new and unstructured environments.
* Developing machine-learning capabilities and infrastructure for robotic perception and motion - integrating the latest vision language action models to expand generalizability beyond the state of the art.
* Optimizing runtime performance of robotic algorithms by exploiting underlying hardware acceleration capabilities.
* Building frameworks for large-scale replay and analysis of events in pre-recorded sensor data.
* Building frameworks to monitor and manage resource utilization on embedded compute platform.
* Building visualization tools for analyzing and debugging robot behavior.A day in the life
