Robot Interaction Engineer
Targeted start date: Immediately.
We are shaping the future by creating general purpose androids like our EVE, which is used to autonomously perform security tasks at customer sites. To manage these robots, we employ a range of tools including a VR teleoperation system and a web frontend for fleet management. We're now developing a consumer-grade solution for human-robot interaction, enabling users to command and comprehend the robot's actions in the field. To realize this, we're seeking dedicated engineers and roboticists to join our team.
