  • Path Planning Systems:
    • Planners and executors that manage and dictate robot traffic.
  • Task Allocation Strategies:
    • Different strategies and their optimizations to ensure efficient task distribution.
  • Distributed Intelligence Framework:
    • Production-grade open-source framework (ALICA) used for coordinating multiple robots.

Additionally, you will:

  • Collaborate & Review:
    • Perform architecture and code reviews with team members.
    • Contribute to a collaborative and continuous improvement environment.
  • Improve Processes:
    • Identify and recommend enhancements to engineering processes.
