Research Robotics/Computer Vision Engineer

Skild AI is building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence, focusing on data-driven machine learning for robotics deployment. They seek a Research Robotics/Computer Vision Engineer responsible for developing intelligent robotic systems, with a focus on 3D computer vision and autonomous navigation.

Responsibilities:

• (i) implementing perception on robots to enable safe exploration and navigation in real world environments in collaboration with the locomotion team
• (ii) reconstructing an entire scene in 3D using monocular images, estimating camera poses, optimizing and streamlining 3D SLAM
• (iii) developing a set of software tools for localization of a robot using only visual inputs
• (iv) building robust software to enable life-long mapping on a robot via optimally merged pose-graphs
• (v) visual servoing wrt objects detected/ tracked to control robot motion
• (vi) researching novel techniques to detect and cater to glare during robotic mapping and navigation
• (vii) building infrastructure and pipeline and collecting data to enable streaming of hand movements for training robot manipulation tasks such as pick and place
• (viii) maintaining a camera and 2D lidar based navigation stack, including fixing bugs, adding new customer feature requests, and ensuring successful deployments
