TRI is assembling a world-class team to develop and integrate innovative solutions that enable a robot to perform complex human-level mobile manipulation tasks navigate with and among people and learn and adapt over time. The team will develop deploy and validate systems in real-world environments in and around homes.
The team will be focused on heavily leveraging machine learning to marry perception prediction and action to produce robust reactive coordinated robot behaviors bootstrapping from simulation leveraging large amounts of data and adapting in real world scenarios.
TRI has the runway roadmap and expertise to transition the technology development to a product that impacts the lives of millions of people. Apply to join a fast paced team that demands high-risk innovation and learning from failures using thorough processes to identify key technologies develop a robust high quality system and quantitatively evaluate performance. As part of the team you will be surrounded and supported by the significant core ML cloud software and hardware expertise at TRI and be a part of TRIs positive and diverse culture.
