Responsibilities
· Design and integrate complex mechanical, electrical, and software components for autonomous robotic systems.
· Develop and implement advanced algorithms for navigation, obstacle avoidance, and coordinated mission execution.
· Create multi-modal perception systems using sensor fusion (e.g., LiDAR, cameras, IMUs) for environmental mapping and object recognition.
· Integrate flight controllers and autopilot systems (e.g., PX4) into system architectures to ensure seamless communication and control.
· Conduct system-wide debugging, integration testing, and performance tuning in both simulation (e.g., AirSim, Gazebo SITL with PX4) and real-world environments.
· Develop methodologies for fault detection, redundancy, and failure recovery to enhance system reliability.
· Optimize overall system performance and energy efficiency for extended operations under dynamic conditions.
· Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams (AI researchers, control engineers, hardware designers) to ensure seamless system functionality.
· Prototype, test, and iterate on novel autonomous capabilities in simulation and field environments.
