What you will do
- Improve our data annotation pipeline. Clean up existing workflows, improve data validation and labeling tools, and make it easier to turn robot demonstrations and deployment data into useful training datasets.
- Maintain and improve teleoperation software. Improve how operator inputs translate into robot behavior, including action smoothing, motion mapping, responsiveness, and debugging tools.
- Develop and evaluate manipulation capabilities. Work with inverse kinematics and motion control for new arms, including 7-DoF redundancy, elbow clearance, camera visibility, and compliant grasping.
- Test prototype hardware. Write CAN communication and hardware test code for new R&D systems. Evaluate whether AMR base, lift, arm, and gripper interfaces provide the control, feedback, and timing needed for new behaviors.
