Company mission
To create robot assistants that help healthcare workers with routine tasks so they can focus on what they do best: patient care.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is self driven, passionate, and has experience with C++ and classical navigation techniques. They also have a strong track record of systems integration
- This person thrives in a fast paced development environment and has the ability to make rapid decisions
- You can deal with ambiguous situations, remove obstacles and aren’t afraid to dive in and read the code
- Experience with indoor autonomous navigation
- Strong C++ skills, solid Python skills
Desirable
- Experience with indoor localization and mapping
- Experience with ROS (Robot Operating System)
- Experience with 3D sensors for navigation and world modeling
- Experience with navigation around people
- Experience with the design of robust behavior systems for robots
- Experience with classical perception and computer vision algorithms
- Experience with numerical optimization techniques, especially with regard to calibration or motion planning
What the job involves
- As a Navigation Robotics Engineer you will ensure that Moxi is able to safely and autonomously operate in complex hospital environments
- Develop navigation algorithms for maneuvering in complex social environments, including path planning, path following, obstacle detection, and avoidance
- Develop and integrate perception algorithms into other subsystems
- Build on existing behavior systems for task-management and problem solving
- Participate in production on-call support rotations
Our take
Healthcare workers do everything they can to provide high-quality care to patients, but the high-pressure work environment can make this difficult. Whilst in-person care is their most important job, different scenarios will require workers to constantly fetch different medical items for patients, increasing job pressure and restricting the time workers have to spend with patients.
Diligent Robotics develops AI-powered robots for patient care teams called Moxi that can fetch, store, and deliver items needed within healthcare facilities. The robots have specialized storage compartments for sensitive medical materials and can safely navigate through elevators, security doors, automatic doors, and other existing infrastructure.
Whilst AI is becoming more prevalent in the healthcare industry, Diligent Robotics has taken a bold move to develop AI-driven robots that tackle the constant frustrations of item fetching that workers face, allowing them to focus more on providing in-person care to patients.
