Robotics Software Engineer (arm planning)

A well-funded company recruits well-brained experts for a well-designed robot

Enchanted Tools is the new company founded by Jérôme Monceaux, leading expert in robotics and serial entrepreneur. Building on his extensive experience as former Executive VP of Aldebaran/Softbank Robotics and lead designer of Nao and Pepper, he proposes a completely new approach for interactive service robotics : the Miroka concept.
Miroka will be the first robot to combine robust interaction, grasping and navigation capabilities to move objects around automatically, opening up an entirely new design space for objects : the behavioral design space.
Endowing objects with autonomous behaviors will profoundly alter the way we design and use our stuff and our living spaces. It will give rise to entirely new organizational models and markets, on a scale on par with revolutions such as emails or smartphones.
To make Jérôme's ambitious, long-term vision a reality, Enchanted Tools has already closed a seed funding round of 15M€ to hire a team of 90 first-class robotics and business experts from all over the world.

As member of Enchanted Tools, you will thrive in a multicultural team, supported by the greatest international experts, with a complete multidisciplinary approach:

• Mechatronics, impedance control, robotics arm, haptics
• Electronics
• Character design, UI/UX
• AI, NLU, NLP, ASR, TTS
• Software architecture (system, embedded, cloud, ...)
• Machine learning, image processing sensors fusion, ...

You participate in the design and prototyping of the platform, to be delivered in 12 months 😱, acting in your field of expertise

Within a multidisciplinary team of experts, you will be in charge of : 

• implementing the control of the arm of our humanoid robot in order to grasp objects in a semi-standardized environment 
• implement the framework allowing to grasp an object in close collaboration with the Interaction and Navigation teams 
• to embed the control algorithms on the robot. In partnership with our fullbody control expert, you will transpose the algorithms and calculations of travel strategy and trajectory planning into computer language.
