Develop and enhance robot capabilities in vision, motion, and software by utilizing Python and Linux. Tackle complex robot problems through advanced programming and motion planning.
The summary above was generated by AI

We understand that general purpose and generally intelligent robots are going to be built in our lifetimes. Not content to sit on the sidelines, we work efficiently towards this goal by combining human and artificial intelligence into something greater than the sum of its parts- a Tutor Intelligence.


We enable anyone to teach robots complicated vision and manipulation skills. Our robots observe, copy, adapt, and improve on what we show them. They are the students, we are the Tutors.


The robot problems we tackle range from the classical to the unsolved. We solve problems in planning, computer vision, SLAM, optimization, machine learning, and more.


If this sounds like you, read on!


Across the board we write software to make our robots more capable, faster and safer. We work mostly in Python and Linux.


What follows is a list of things we find interesting. Depending on your passions, your role might fit one or all of the following.

Robot Vision

  • Improving 2D and 3D sensing capabilities
  • Building visual representations of the world
  • Geometric perception
  • Perception of seen and unseen objects
  • Supervised learning
  • Self supervised learning

Robot Motion

  • Control of robot arms
  • Planning motion in the presence of obstacles
  • Optimizing grasps and other basic manipulation primitives
  • Motion planning
  • Tools such as Drake, OMPL, KLAMPT, etc
  • Multi roboti planning
  • Reinforcement learning

Robot Software

  • Proficiency programming in a Python-Linux environment
  • Comfort with programming linters (Flake8, Mypy)
  • Software support of real-time systems
  • Visualization of robot data
  • Advanced command of Python (dunder methods, lambdas, exception handling, decorators)

Robot Hardware

  • Design and control of end effectors
  • Experience integrating and programming robot arms
  • Mechanical design of mounts and stands.

What you need to know about the Boston Tech Scene

Boston is a powerhouse for technology innovation thanks to world-class research universities like MIT and Harvard and a robust pipeline of venture capital investment. Host to the first telephone call and one of the first general-purpose computers ever put into use, Boston is now a hub for biotechnology, robotics and artificial intelligence — though it’s also home to several B2B software giants. So it’s no surprise that the city consistently ranks among the greatest startup ecosystems in the world.

Key Facts About Boston Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 269,000; 9.4% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Thermo Fisher Scientific, Toast, Klaviyo, HubSpot, DraftKings
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, biotechnology, robotics, software, aerospace
  • Funding Landscape: $15.7 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Summit Partners, Volition Capital, Bain Capital Ventures, MassVentures, Highland Capital Partners
  • Research Centers and Universities: MIT, Harvard University, Boston College, Tufts University, Boston University, Northeastern University, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, National Bureau of Economic Research, Broad Institute, Lowell Center for Space Science & Technology, National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories
