Aeolus Robotics is a startup, founded to bring the first generation of household robot assistants to life, and to market. We integrate Taiwanese manufacturing prowess, Silicon Valley AI genius, and worldwide coding expertise to break ground in general-purpose consumer robotics for unstructured human spaces. The team is fast-paced, highly skilled, and world class in both research and application; the CTO, an expert in AI and machine learning, created and ran the $200M DARPA program on AI in unstructured environments that led to the Watson AI project.
Aeolus is currently in stealth mode, and looking to grow its initial team for grasping objects in Vienna. We seek people with expertise in vision, and manipulation, who are excited by the challenge of building a new robotic architecture from the ground up.
The Aeolus robot is wheeled, with a single arm and a dexterous manipulator. The first applications will be fetch and cleaning tasks. The robot will plan and execute tasks primarily on visual information, using LIDAR, RGB-D, and image sensors. The dynamic, and uncontrolled nature of home environments shapes the technology the company plans to employ.
Aeolus seeks developers with expertise in the following areas:
* **Manipulation and grasping**, especially software compliant approaches that are compatible with a variety of grips and objects, e.g., a cupping motion, a pinching action, and a more generic grasp with a compliant end-effector.
* **Robot vision**, SIFT and other approaches to object recognition, vision processing and surface modeling in service of manipulation.
Candidates for developer positions should have experience building significant robotic systems and strong C++ skills.
Preferable skills:
- ROS
- Machine Learning
- Computer Vision
- Simulation (OpenRAVE, MoveIt)
Aeolus is a deeply distributed company, with contributors in Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Salaries are commensurate with expertise, and highly competitive by region.
