Warehousing and logistics systems play an increasingly critical role in contributing to the competitiveness of many companies and, at the same time, to the effectiveness of the general world economy. The modern intra-logistics solutions combine state-of-the-art mechatronics, complex software, advanced robotics, modern computational perception, and sophisticated AI and operations research algorithms to provide high throughput and efficient processing for many mission-critical commercial logistics applications.

We are looking for a dynamic, innovation-minded AMR/Robotics leader to lead the development of software for fleets of autonomous robots, with possible swarm robotics behavior, to solve challenging problems in:

Autonomous robotic innovations and research include novel ways of intelligent navigation, path planning while minimizing energy usage, and the ability to operate accurately at high speeds in communication-denied and GPS-denied environments.
Autonomous robots that collaboratively accomplish warehouse automation and material flow tasks, with the goal of quick market introduction, using agile methodologies.
Apply modern AI and machine learning methodologies to solve complex robotics problems involving synthesis of solutions that can measurably streamline operations of fleet and swarms of robots.
Research, define and implement intelligent robot behavior onboard for collision avoidance and energy optimization.
Develop novel perception-based navigation solutions, leveraging advances in sensor technology and sensor fusion algorithms and the power of IoT and AI at the edge and in the cloud, that can demonstrably increase the reliability and adaptive control of highly automated mobile robot systems.
Contribute to application of deep learning in mobile robotic navigation algorithms.
Provide contribution or subject matter expertise in developing various robotic fleet management, AMR energy management, Dynamic path optimization and analytics related products (descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive) with ability to offer these products in a cloud-based As-a-Service delivery model.
