Senior Developer (Teleop) for Humanoid Robots in Autonomous Transportation

We are creating a control platform for humanoid robots. For robots to move stably, interact with the environment, and perform useful tasks in real-world conditions, a wide variety of data is needed. We are developing tools and processes that enable the collection, structuring, and application of such data for training and improving neural network models. For this, we need a convenient and reliable human-robot interaction interface. We are looking for an engineer who will help turn research utilities into operational teleoperation tools.

What tasks await you

Turn R&D utilities into convenient and reliable Human-Robot Interface tools You will take existing scripts and utilities and turn them into an effective interface for operators, a working tool for daily operation. Create a tool that allows control of different humanoid robot platforms, build an architecture that supports extension with minimal changes.

Implement one-click/voice to replace the Operator + Pilot pair with one person You will develop mechanisms that allow a pilot to record a series of actions with one click or a voice command; reduce the operator's cognitive load by automating typical action sequences. The new teleoperation system will provide minimal video and command transmission latency and fault tolerance.

Integrate tools with the storage pipeline, ensure fault-tolerance It will be necessary to ensure automatic ingestion of collected data into the processing pipeline. Implement recovery mechanisms, error notifications, and latency monitoring.
