Hello,
Please find below a description for a position in our Smalltalk team.
** 12-months Software Research Engineer Position for Service Robotics **
Context: The RoboShop Project
The RoboShop project aims at providing the foundations for using robots as
media in the customer relationship management (CRM). This work should
provide a hardware and software platform to build experiments about robotic
usage scenario related to shopping. This platform must be complete and used
in a public demonstration at the end of the project by october 2013.
Description
The work to be carried out aims at providing a robust infrastructure
(hardware and soft- ware) for robotic experiments related to services. The
hardware part will mainly rely on an existing robotic platform which
already integrate the most common sensors and actuators (Laser, Vision,
infra-red, ...). The contribution will consist in integrating some new
sensors. The main effort is therefore on the software part. Technologically
it will imply to work with ROS (Robot Operating System) [ros08] and Pharo
[pha08] as well as some robotic tools and algorithms: simulators (Gazebo,
Morse), SLAM, ...
