About us
Open Droids is an early stage robotics startup, and have created a low cost human capable Open Source robot which in our opinion will disrupt the robotics industry.
Skills
Core Technical Job Requirements ( every single competency here is not mandatory however very much desirable). Preferred 5 years of experience
1. Mechanical Design and CAD:
- Expertise in using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) to design the mechanical structure of the robot.
- Knowledge of structural analysis to ensure that the robot’s components can withstand operational stresses.
2. Robotics Kinematics and Dynamics:
- Understanding of robotic kinematics (both forward and inverse) to ensure the robotic arm can accurately reach the desired positions within its work envelope.
- Knowledge of dynamics for the robotic arm and the mobile base to ensure smooth and stable motion.
3. Vision and perception
- Computer Vision
- 3D Perceptron
- Sensor Fusion
- SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)
- Machine Learning
- Signal Processing
- Real-Time Processing
- Human-Robot Interaction
4. Embedded Systems and Firmware Development:
- Proficiency in programming microcontrollers and processors and on board computers used in robotics (e.g., NVIDIA Orin, ARM Cortex, Arduino, Raspberry Pi).
- Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) to handle tasks such as sensor data processing, motor control, and communication.
5. Actuator Selection and Integration:
- Knowledge of selecting and integrating appropriate actuators (e.g., stepper motors, servo motors) for both the vertical actuator and the robotic arm.
- Experience in designing or selecting power transmission systems (e.g., lead screws, belts, gears).
6. Sensor Integration:
- good knowledge of Lidars/ different sensor based systems for robotics
7. Software Development:
- Proficiency in programming languages like C++, Python, and ROS (Robot Operating System) for developing software that controls the robot.
- Experience in developing user interfaces for monitoring and controlling the robot.
8. Safety Standards and Compliance:
- Understanding of safety standards relevant to mobile robots and robotic arms, ensuring the design meets industry regulations.
- Knowledge of fail-safe mechanisms and emergency stop systems.
