Yondu
Robots to Automate Fulfillment
Founding Researcher
About the role
We are looking for robotics researchers who would like to work on using robot policies to perform manipulation tasks involving single and dual arm robots. Consider applying if you would like to be involved with any part of the process which includes but may not be limited to
- working on methods to acquire and process data such as through teleoperation or simulation
- developing effective models that have high rates of success when deployed
- optimizing the performance of robots already deployed
In terms of experience, it is incredibly useful to have worked on similar problems particularly at a PhD level. Candidates who have done research in robot manipulation are greatly preferred, but other forms relevant experience are also appreciated.
About the interview
We’ll have 2-3 interviews to go over technical skills, projects you would like to take on, and discussions about the role.
About Yondu
Yondu is a startup deploying robots to solve labor intensive problems in retail and 3PL services. We are first addressing batch picking for order fulfillment by using mobile manipulators and wheeled humanoids. Currently we are upgrading off the shelf robots to complete this task, but we will soon manufacture our own robots!
The company was founded by MIT students and has already raised seed funding after graduating from the YC W24 batch.
