At Sharpa, we manufacture time by making robots useful.
Founded in 2024, Sharpa is an AI robotics company inspired by the Sherpa people of the Himalayas - known for guiding and assisting alpinists on their difficult journey to the summit. We build general purpose robots that assist, not replace, humans - freeing people from repetitive and strenuous work so they can pursue inspiring endeavors.
Our team is made up of geeks and innovators with backgrounds at leading AI and robotics companies. We are dedicated to developing ultra-high performance, autonomous robotic systems capable of adapting to the complexity of real world environments. Sharpa operates out of Singapore, Shanghai and Mountain View.
What you'll be doing:
- Develop, monitor, and optimize teleoperation algorithm software for robots, including but not limited to master-side pose acquisition, master-slave pose redirection, and master-side sensory (visual, tactile, force) feedback, enabling humans to remotely control robots to perform dexterous operations approaching human-level capability.
- Keep abreast of industry trends and cutting-edge technological developments, and conduct pre-research and integration of new technologies and methodologies in a timely manner.
What we're looking for:
- Master’s degree or higher, preferably in Computer Science, Electronic Information, Robotics, or related fields.
- Familiarity with at least one of the following: motion capture (MoCap) devices, robot teleoperation technologies based on VR, handheld controllers, or other input devices; human pose estimation; or pose remapping. Experience in developing robot teleoperation systems or AR/VR game development is preferred.
- Experience in robot learning; familiarity with imitation learning or reinforcement learning; familiarity with generative algorithms is preferred.
- Proficient in C++/Python programming languages and familiar with ROS/ROS2.
