Optical Sensing Intern - Robot Perception
Rhoda AI, Mountain View
What you will do
- Design experiments that answer real engineering questions, such as which sensor settings work best for each job, and whether a sensor still sees a person in direct sunlight
- Explain why a sensor fails, from the physics up: ambient light, dynamic range, multipath, reflectance, angle of incidence, heat
- Propose and test what to do about each failure: a different setting, a filter, a mounting change, or a check the software can run
- Build the scenes, targets and scenarios that reproduce real-world conditions in the lab, and in the field when the lab isn’t enough
- Use sensor SDKs and firmware to sweep and tune settings such as exposure, gain, frame rate, range modes and filtering
