Implement and evaluate motion-planning, trajectory optimization, and control solutions for robotic arms, focusing on improving motion plans for efficiency.
Tutor Intelligence is looking for an engineer to implement and evaluate motion-planning, trajectory optimization, and control solutions for our robot arms. With a growing fleet of robots deployed, the value of improving our motion plans in order to operate more efficiently is growing as well. We seek someone to bolster our team with an explicit focus on problems related to robot motion.
We are looking for someone with domain expertise in planning and optimization for multi-dof robots, with a broad mandate to:
* Generate collision free trajectories under a range of inputs
* Optimize the speed and efficiency of our robots
Requirements
- Experience with optimizers (IPOPT, SNOPT, etc.)
- Experience with c++ & python
- Experience with planning and optimization for multi-dof robots (arms, quadrupeds, AVs, etc)
- Strong software skills
Nice to have
- Research experience with robot motion
- Relevant publications
