ROS Engineer
We are developing the Epioni humanoid robot using the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework. The project is primarily built on ROS1 (Noetic) with extensions and compatibility work involving ROS2, encompassing tasks such as motion planning, perception, control systems, and system integration.
Location: Lahore (Onsite)
Experience: 3–5 years
Key Responsibilities and Requirements
Developing the Epioni humanoid robot using the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework. The project is built primarily on ROS1 (Noetic) with extensions and compatibility work involving ROS2, and includes:
