The Opportunity
A QA Specialist Contractor is required to join our Wildcat SLAM acceleration. Wildcat is a cutting edge C++ Simultaneous Location and Mapping (SLAM) library developed by CSIRO’s Data61 Robotics and Autonomous Systems Group.
Wildcat is a key enabling technology in robotics perception for autonomous robot operation. It processes various sensor data, including 3D lidar and IMU data, in order to produce an accurate trajectory of the robot in 3D space as well as a detailed 3D point cloud map of the explored environment.
Wildcat is an evolution of our previous developed SLAM technologies which has been successfully commercialised in collaboration with GeoSLAM. It is currently being used as a key technology in an UAV (drone) automation startup.
