I'm seeking a skilled designer to create a combat robot for local competitions in the Plastics division, specifically in the antweight category (454g). The primary requirement is to incorporate powerful weaponry.

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Experience in combat robot design
- Expertise in designing and integrating weapon systems
- Familiarity with competition rules and regulations

Skills: Mechanical Engineering, 3D Modelling, Robotics, Engineering Drawing, 3D Design, 3D Printing, Mechanical Design, 3D CAD, Design Optimization, CAD / SolidWorks

We turn real human work into training data for robotics. We capture first-person footage of skilled workers and transform it into structured, quality-checked datasets that help robots learn to operate in the physical world.

We're hiring an exceptional, hands-on Python engineer to own the architecture behind that growth: how large volumes of footage enter our platform, move between storage and compute, become usable training data and reach customers reliably.

Your mission is to build a platform capable of handling multiple terabytes of incoming footage per day and growing toward petabyte-scale storage—with rigorous quality controls and sustainable processing costs.

You'll work directly with the founders, take ownership of the existing platform and shape its architecture as we scale.

You will:
- Own the complete system architecture: connect capture devices and ingestion stations, cloud storage, processing workers, metadata services, quality checks and dataset delivery.
- Design reliable ingestion at scale: resumable uploads, integrity verification, deduplication, bandwidth management and recovery from interrupted transfers across many recording sites.
- Architect storage across Backblaze B2 and AWS: define landing storage, processing access, archival, retention and restoration workflows. Make deliberate decisions about durability, retrieval times, transfer costs and storage economics.
- Build distributed Python and GPU processing: design queues, scheduling, parallel execution, checkpointing, retries and backpressure so the platform handles growing workloads and recovers cleanly from partial failures.
- Own the video and ML pipeline: integrate and improve face blurring, privacy checks, hand-pose estimation, capture-quality assessment and dataset packaging.
- Protect data integrity throughout processing: preserve frames, timestamps and recording boundaries; track source files, model versions and processing history; make outputs reproducible and auditable.
- Measure and improve performance: identify bottlenecks across networking, storage, decoding, CPU and GPU workloads. Improve throughput and cost per processed footage-hour while meeting quality requirements.
- Build operational reliability: establish monitoring, actionable alerts, automated quality gates, deployment practices and recovery procedures that let a small team operate a large platform.

We're looking for someone with:
- Exceptional Python engineering skills, including concurrency, multiprocessing, profiling, memory management and debugging complex production systems.
- Proven architecture experience with substantial data volumes: systems they personally designed, shipped and operated, with concrete evidence of scale and reliability.
- Strong knowledge of AWS, object storage and distributed systems, including storage lifecycle design, queues, access controls, failure recovery and cloud cost optimisation.
- Experience designing workflows that remain correct through duplicate events, interrupted jobs, worker failures and retries.
- Practical experience with video processing, GPU workloads or production ML infrastructure.
- Strong database and metadata modelling skills, with an understanding of how to keep large media assets and their processing records consistent.
- The judgment to make sound architectural decisions, implement them personally and take responsibility for how the system behaves in production.

Experience with Backblaze B2, AWS S3 and archival storage, PyTorch, OpenCV, FFmpeg, Modal, robotics datasets or multi-camera recordings would be especially valuable.

Our environment includes Python, GPU inference, cloud object storage, a Go ingestion layer and a TypeScript control plane. You'll own the decisions that connect these components into a reliable platform and guide its evolution.

You'll join at a stage where your engineering decisions directly shape the company's capacity, data quality and economics. The role offers substantial technical ownership, close collaboration with the founders and room to grow into broader technical leadership as the team expands.

I am looking for help researching Chinese social media platforms and credible Chinese sources for AI-related news. The work will include two daily tasks: identifying trending news on AI models, chips, and robotics, and conducting a deeper dive into a specific AI research topic. This role will require 2–3 hours of work each day, with a focus on finding reliable information and providing links to the sources. You should be curious, proactive, and comfortable searching online to gather accurate and credible information. the ideal candidate is locatedin Chna and knows how to read/write Mandarin. Please reach out if you are interested.

The project is a compact, bipedal humanoid that will rely on a PA-CF 3D-printed chassis and 21 actuators. I need a complete mechanical design package created exclusively in Fusion 360, ready for immediate prototyping and eventual low-volume production.

– Integrate 21 actuators (servo or BLDC) with realistic torque, weight and envelope constraints; include mounts, brackets, gear trains or harmonic drives where necessary.
– Optimise wall thicknesses, ribs and lattice infill for strength-to-weight, thermal dissipation and print time.
– Plan fasteners, cable routing and access points to keep the robot serviceable.
– Apply DFM/DFAM principles throughout, detailing print orientation, support strategy and critical tolerances.

Deliverables
• Native Fusion 360 file set (components, assemblies, motion study)
• Exported STEP and STL files for every part ready for slicing
• 2D fabrication drawings with critical dimensions and tolerances
• Assembly drawings, exploded views and labelled BOM
• Brief DFM report summarising print settings, material usage and post-processing notes

Acceptance criteria
A design review in Fusion 360 using the web viewer will confirm fit, actuator clearances, weight targets and printability on a 300 × 300 × 400 mm build volume before final sign-off.

When you respond, please highlight your direct experience with robotics or load-bearing 3D-printed assemblies in Fusion 360.

Mechanical Design Engineer / Fusion 360 Specialist for Robotics & 3D-Printed Prototypes

I'm looking for an experienced mechanical designer/engineer to work with me on several ongoing robotics and electronics projects.

I already have experience using Fusion 360 and building prototypes myself, but I'm looking to outsource most of the mechanical design work to someone who does this professionally and can move significantly faster than I can.

This is not just a CAD drafting position.

I'm looking for someone who can take a relatively high-level requirement such as:

- "I need these electronics mounted inside this chassis."
- "This camera needs to sit here and have an adjustable angle."
- "We need a cleaner way to mount these servos and route the wiring."
- "This mechanism needs to connect to this existing assembly."
- "I need an enclosure for these components that I can easily open and service."

…and independently think through the mechanical design, propose a good solution, and implement it in Fusion 360.

Types of Projects

Most projects will involve robotics, electronics, and physical prototyping.

Examples include:

- Robot chassis and structural components
- Electronics enclosures
- Mounting brackets for cameras, sensors, PCBs, motors, servos, batteries, etc.
- Robotic arm or actuator mounting
- Custom mechanical assemblies
- Cable/wire routing and management
- Modular components that can be removed or serviced
- Adapters between existing components
- Improvements to existing prototype designs
- Parts intended primarily for FDM 3D printing
- Occasional integration with off-the-shelf hardware and fasteners

I will typically provide photos, measurements, existing Fusion 360 files, component models, sketches, or a video explaining what I am trying to accomplish.

I want you to help determine the best mechanical solution rather than simply model exactly what I draw.

What I'm Looking For

Strong experience with:

- Autodesk Fusion 360
- Mechanical design
- Design for FDM 3D printing
- Functional prototypes
- Assemblies and components
- Parametric CAD design
- Tolerances and clearances
- Fasteners, threaded inserts, screws, bearings, shafts, etc.
- Designing around real-world electronic components
- Designing parts that are easy to assemble, modify, and repair

Experience with robotics, mechatronics, or electronics product development would be a major plus.

How We'd Work Together

I want this to be an ongoing relationship rather than a single isolated project.

I will generally explain a problem or new feature that I need, provide the relevant dimensions/components/files, and discuss any important constraints.

From there, I would like you to:

1. Understand the functional requirements.
2. Propose an appropriate mechanical solution.
3. Create or modify the design in Fusion 360.
4. Provide renders/screenshots when useful so we can quickly review the concept.
5. Make revisions based on feedback.
6. Prepare the design for 3D printing and physical testing.

I will print and assemble many of the prototypes myself and provide feedback such as fit issues, mechanical changes, or additional requirements.

We may go through several rapid iterations of a design.

Important

I'm specifically looking for someone who has good mechanical intuition.

If I tell you where a component needs to go, I don't necessarily want to tell you exactly what bracket, mounting method, screw pattern, wall thickness, or geometry to use.

I want someone who can make those engineering/design decisions and explain their reasoning when necessary.

Clean and maintainable Fusion 360 projects are also important. Designs should use sensible components, sketches, parameters, naming, and assemblies so that future modifications are relatively easy.

Deliverables

Depending on the project, deliverables may include:

- Fusion 360 source files
- STEP files
- STL/3MF files for printing
- Technical drawings when necessary
- Assembly diagrams or exploded views when useful
- Basic bill of materials / hardware list
- Recommendations for screws, inserts, bearings, or other hardware

All source CAD files should be included as part of the work.

Ideal Background

You may be a good fit if you are a:

- Mechanical Engineer
- Mechanical Design Engineer
- Product Design Engineer
- Robotics / Mechatronics Engineer
- CAD Design Engineer

…with significant hands-on Fusion 360 and prototyping experience.

A formal engineering degree is not mandatory if you have strong real-world mechanical design experience and an excellent portfolio.

When Applying

Please include:

1. A few examples of functional mechanical designs you have created in Fusion 360.
2. Examples of parts or assemblies you designed specifically for 3D printing.
3. Any robotics, electronics, mechatronics, or hardware projects you've worked on.
4. A short explanation of how you typically approach designing an enclosure or mounting system around existing electronic components.
5. Your typical availability each week.

Please prioritize examples of actual functional products, mechanisms, enclosures, or machines rather than architectural models or purely artistic 3D modeling.

I'm looking for someone I can potentially work with regularly across multiple robotics projects.

Description

I need one physical prototype assembled from a complete, tested design. This is a hands-on build — soldering, basic fabric mounting, and loading provided code — with no design work. Everything you need is written down: a parts list (~$80), a wiring diagram, a belt layout drawing, the two microcontroller programs, and a three-step verification procedure.

What you'll build

A wearable elastic belt carrying six small 3V coin vibration motors, each glued into a small rigid pod and Velcro-mounted so it can be repositioned. The motors are driven by a BBC micro:bit v2 through a ULN2003 driver chip, powered by a 3×AA pack, housed in a small pouch or box on the belt. A second micro:bit v2 serves as a handheld controller and talks to the belt over the micro:bit's built-in radio. The belt is adjustable with a side-release buckle and slider.

Circuit summary: six motor leads to the ULN2003 outputs, six driver inputs to micro:bit pins via an edge-connector breakout, shared ground, separate battery packs for motors and board. That's the whole circuit.

What you'll get from me

Parts list with quantities and notes
Wiring diagram and belt layout drawing
Both programs (MakeCode JavaScript — paste and flash)
Verification checklist

Deliverables

The assembled belt unit and handheld, working, with fresh batteries, shipped to me.
A short phone video (a minute or two) showing: each of the six motors firing individually from the handheld; the "pair" pattern firing two motors; and the three timed patterns (accelerating, fixed-rate, single) playing on one motor.
A photo of the wiring before it goes into the pouch.
Your parts receipts, if we go labor-plus-parts.

Requirements

You have soldered motors or sensors onto a wearable or fabric item before — please include a photo of something like that in your proposal.
You own or will buy micro:bit v2 boards (not v1 — the belt logs data to flash, which v1 can't do).
Clean work: heat-shrink on every joint, leads routed along the belt with a little slack at each pod.
US-based, so the rig can get back to me within a week or so.

Context, if you're curious

It's a test instrument for a student research project on vibration-based guidance for blind runners — participants will wear it in a lab study, which is why the verification video and clean joints matter. Happy to answer questions before you start.

Skills: Electronics, PCB Layout, Manufacturing Design, Product Design, Robotics, Arduino, Circuit Design, Soldering, Embedded Systems, Prototyping

Mechanical Design Engineer Needed — Phase 2 (Detailed CAD Engineering) for Automatic Dolma
Rolling Machine

Project Overview

I'm developing a home-use automatic dolma (stuffed grape leaf) rolling machine — a compact countertop appliance that automatically feeds a grape leaf, dispenses a portion of filling (rice or meat), and rolls both into a finished dolma in one continuous motion. This product does not currently exist on the market in this form.

Phase 1 (Product Architecture & Mechanism Development) is complete. I now have a validated concept, mechanism selection, and system architecture. I'm looking for an engineer to take this into Phase 2: full detailed CAD engineering.

Reference materials from Phase 1 (concept sketches, mechanism selection, architecture notes, and reference image/video) will be shared with the selected candidate.

Machine Architecture (established in Phase 1)

The system includes the following subsystems:

Automatic Leaf Magazine – A top-loading reservoir that stores a stack of grape (or cabbage) leaves.

Leaf Separation & Alignment System – Separates a single leaf at a time from the stack, aligns it, and transports it to the filling station. Handles both fresh leaves and jarred/preserved leaves (more delicate and slightly oily).

Filling Hopper & Portioning System – A dedicated chamber for rice-based or meat-based filling with an adjustable metering mechanism for consistent, repeatable portions.

Folding & Rolling Assembly – A synchronized mechanism that folds and rolls the leaf around the filling into a uniform dolma.

Finished Product Collection Area – An output tray where completed dolmas are deposited automatically.

Key Design Requirements
Production capacity: 7-9 dolmas per minute (a typical home batch is 40–60 pieces)

Power source: Electric, corded — with an on/off switch and adjustable speed dial

Finished dolma size: 2–3 inches long, ¾–1 inch in diameter

Leaf compatibility: Must handle both fresh and preserved/jarred grape leaves (variation in leaf size, thickness, and texture needs to be accounted for in feeding and rolling tolerances)

Form factor: Compact enough for home kitchen countertop use

Materials: Food-safe materials throughout all filling and leaf contact surfaces

Scope of This Engagement — Phase 2 Only: Detailed CAD Engineering

Full 3D CAD assembly (parametric, editable)

Motion and mechanism refinement based on the Phase 1 architecture

Food-contact component design
Material selection and food-safe material recommendations
Manufacturing considerations (DFM)

Note: Phase 3 (manufacturing drawings, assembly documentation, prototype-ready CAD files, and design review/revision support) is a separate, future engagement and is not part of this scope. Strong Phase 2 work may lead to being selected for Phase 3.

Deliverables
Refined mechanical design for the entire machine, leaf feeding, filling, and rolling mechanisms

Full 3D CAD assembly (parametric, editable)

Food-contact component specifications and material recommendations

DFM notes/considerations for manufacturability

Estimated Timeline
2–3 weeks, depending on revisions.

Budget
$400 - $700 depending on experience

Required Skills & Experience
Professional Mechanical Design Engineer / CAD Specialist with expertise in parametric 3D CAD design, mechanical systems, and product engineering

Proven experience designing mechanical systems and components such as gears, shafts, bearings, housings, linkages, actuators, frames, and enclosures

Proficiency in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and/or AutoCAD, producing fully parametric, editable, manufacturing-ready CAD models

Experience preparing models optimized for CNC machining, simulation, and future production
Strong, demonstrable experience in food manufacturing or food-contact equipment design — this is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have (understanding of food-safe materials, hygienic design principles, cleanability, and relevant food-equipment standards)

Prior experience with kitchen appliances, food processing machines, or similar automated mechanical systems is a strong plus

Experience designing feed/singulation mechanisms for flexible, non-uniform materials (e.g., sheets, leaves, dough, fabric) is a strong plus

Strong portfolio showing robotics components, automotive parts, or industrial machine assemblies
Questions for Applicants

Please answer the following in your proposal:

Have you worked on food appliance or kitchen gadget designs before? Please share relevant examples.

Do you have experience designing mechanisms that handle variable/non-standardized materials (like grabe leaves)?

Are you interested in and available for a potential follow-on Phase 3 engagement (manufacturing drawings and prototype-ready files) if Phase 2 goes well?

I'm excited about this project and ready to move forward with the right person. Looking forward to your proposal!

CSV copies or extracts when conversion is straightforward and lossless. Originals must be retained.

5. Research Summary
Concise methodology, major sources, important data gaps, and notable relationships. Citations and bibliography must use IEEE format.

Research Standard

Quality and traceability are critical
Do not fabricate, estimate, average, or generate missing numerical data. Preserve original units, experimental conditions, variability, and source documentation. Clearly identify modeled or derived data when the source makes that distinction.

Do not unnecessarily transform specialist formats or simplify complex datasets.

If reliable data cannot be identified, document the gap.

When Applying

Please briefly provide:

your approach to scientific dataset discovery;
an example of a technical dataset you have previously researched or organized;
tools you use for research and data organization; and
confirmation that you can provide IEEE-formatted references and preserve original source files.
We value rigorous research and clean organization over presentation-heavy reporting.

We are developing an automated, modular food kiosk housed inside a modified 4x2 meter shipping container and need an experienced Mechanical CAD Designer / Industrial Draftsman to create a professional, fully dimensioned 2D drawing package in two A3 sheets. Sheet 1 should cover the exterior site, elevation, and permitting plan for landlords and municipal authorities. Sheet 2 should present a clean interior machine-and-zone layout for our robotics and automation partners, showing internal clearances, equipment depths, and pick/place stations without drawing robotic arms or fixed linear tracks. Deliverables should include high-resolution vectorized PDFs and editable DWG/DXF files. Turnaround target is 2–4 days.

I already have a 19-DOF humanoid running on a custom Python HAL that talks seamlessly to both MuJoCo and our Unitree H1. A deterministic 200 Hz loop handles PD control, torque limits, e-stop logic, and a multi-layer safety stack, yet the walking pattern still feels rough. The immediate goal is to redesign or retune the gait-generation module so the robot moves with greater stability and energy efficiency without losing real-time performance.

All of the middleware—Python, NumPy, FastAPI, WebSockets—along with MuJoCo’s API is in place, so you will be dropping your solution straight into an existing repository. You should be comfortable profiling and optimising code that must never miss its 5 ms deadlines, and you’ll need to validate results first in MuJoCo, then on the physical H1.

Deliverables
• New or modified gait-generation algorithm integrated into my Python control framework
• Demonstration video and log files from both simulation and hardware runs, showing stable, repeatable walks at various speeds
• Brief write-up of approach, key parameters, and how to tweak them in future

Acceptance criteria
1. Loop frequency remains ≥ 200 Hz measured over 60 s continuous operation
2. No foot slippage or falls in a 3 min MuJoCo walk and a 1 min H1 walk on flat ground
3. Energy consumption (integrated torque) improves on current baseline by at least 10 % in simulation

When you reply, please include links or short clips of past work on biped or quadruped gait planning, real-time control, or related projects—seeing previous successes will speed up selection.

Skills: JavaScript, Python, Software Architecture, Machine Learning (ML), C++ Programming, Robotics, NumPy, FastAPI

The project is a compact, bipedal humanoid that will rely on a PA-CF 3D-printed chassis and 21 actuators. I need a complete mechanical design package created exclusively in Fusion 360, ready for immediate prototyping and eventual low-volume production.

Scope of work

– Integrate 21 actuators (servo or BLDC) with realistic torque, weight and envelope constraints; include mounts, brackets, gear trains or harmonic drives where necessary.
– Optimise wall thicknesses, ribs and lattice infill for strength-to-weight, thermal dissipation and print time.
– Plan fasteners, cable routing and access points to keep the robot serviceable.
– Apply DFM/DFAM principles throughout, detailing print orientation, support strategy and critical tolerances.

Deliverables
• Native Fusion 360 file set (components, assemblies, motion study)
• Exported STEP and STL files for every part ready for slicing
• 2D fabrication drawings with critical dimensions and tolerances
• Assembly drawings, exploded views and labelled BOM
• Brief DFM report summarising print settings, material usage and post-processing notes

Acceptance criteria
A design review in Fusion 360 using the web viewer will confirm fit, actuator clearances, weight targets and printability on a 300 × 300 × 400 mm build volume before final sign-off.

When you respond, please highlight your direct experience with robotics or load-bearing 3D-printed assemblies in Fusion 360.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Mount your phone on a head strap at forehead level, angled down so your hands stay in frame
Record yourself performing your normal work tasks
Each clip covers one complete task from start to finish (minimum 2 minutes; a 25-minute task is one 25-minute clip, not split up)
Upload through the Minute Data app (free, iOS and Android)

ENVIRONMENTS WE NEED

Restaurant / commercial kitchen. Warehouse and distribution. Construction site. Plumbing, HVAC, electrical service calls. Light assembly manufacturing. Auto service and tire shop. Food and beverage plant. Metal fabrication and welding. Commercial cleaning and janitorial. Hotel and lodging. Carpentry and furniture workshop. Retail back-of-house. Car wash and detailing. Commercial laundry. Recycling and waste transfer. Farm work. Print and packaging. Event venues.

REQUIREMENTS

Location — you must be in one of these countries. The app blocks recording everywhere else, no exceptions:
United States, Argentina, Australia, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Venezuela.

Phone — one of these models only:
iPhone 12 through iPhone 17 (not 16e or 17e)
Google Pixel 6, 7, 8, 9 including Pro

Also required:

Access to one of the commercial environments above, with the owner's or manager's permission to record there
A head mount for your phone (around $10 online — we reimburse after your first 5 approved hours)
Stable internet for uploading video files

PAYMENT

$5 per hour of approved footage
Paid through Upwork after QA clearance, which takes 24 to 48 hours after upload
Sessions flagged for review and then cleared are paid normally
Confirmed fraud is not paid. This means: recording a screen or a replay, filming another person instead of first-person footage, sitting still or barely moving, or performing fake tasks such as sweeping with no dirt, folding clothes that are already folded, or wiping a clean counter repeatedly
Soft cap of 100 hours per contributor, after which you move to a different site
Reliable contributors get continuing volume. This is ongoing work, not a one-off

PRIVACY

You control what you record. Nothing sensitive or private is required. You must have permission for the premises you film. Footage is used only for AI research and model training.

Please answer the screening questions carefully — proposals that skip them will not be reviewed.

We're a pre-seed startup building automated gel nail application hardware for professional salons. We need help building the motion control layer of our machine.

The setup: our machine uses computer vision (Roboflow) to segment and output nail shape coordinates as JSON. We need custom Python running on a Raspberry Pi that:
- Converts camera pixel coordinates to real-world XYZ coordinates (camera-to-robot-frame calibration/homography)
- Sends motion commands to a Duet 3 Mini motion controller to guide a brush head across the nail surface
- Handles a 4th axis tilt for reaching around the thumb

We're at the prototype/testing stage, not production. Looking for someone with experience in:
- Python on Raspberry Pi
- Motion control / G-code or direct motion controller communication
- Camera calibration and coordinate transformation (homography)
- Robotics or CNC/3D printing adjacent experience is a strong plus

Please include:
- Relevant past projects (especially anything involving camera calibration or motion control)
- Your rate (hourly or project-based)
- Availability to start

Open to ongoing work beyond the initial prototype phase for the right fit.

am looking for a practical, hands-on robotics / mechatronics engineer to help develop a physical prototype of a compact dual-arm mobile robot.

This is not a conceptual design or rendering project.

I am looking for someone who can take commercially available robotic parts, actuators, motors, controllers, sensors, batteries and other components, combine them with custom-designed and 3D-printed parts, and build a working prototype.

The detailed commercial application will only be shared with shortlisted candidates under NDA.

What I Need

The prototype will require:

Two articulated robotic arms
Powered 360° rotating torso
Vertical lift capability
Compact wheeled or omnidirectional mobile base
Combined lifting capability of approximately 30 kg close to the body
Advanced hands / grippers
Force, tactile and slip sensing
Machine vision
Depth cameras
Accurate and fast pick-and-place capability
Dual-arm coordinated movement
Rapid battery replacement or charging
Continuous operational capability
Water-resistant and easy-clean construction
Modular design
Modern robotics software architecture
Ability to support teaching by demonstration and teleoperation
The Type of Person I Am Looking For

I am especially interested in someone who is a builder as well as an engineer.

You should be comfortable:

Taking existing robotic hardware and modifying it
Selecting motors, actuators and gearboxes
Working with robot arms
Designing and fabricating brackets and frames
Using 3D printing for prototype parts
Working with aluminium, stainless steel and other structural materials
Wiring motors, sensors, controllers and batteries
Integrating cameras and sensors
Building and testing grippers
Writing or modifying robotics control software
Working with ROS2 or equivalent platforms
Troubleshooting real mechanical and electrical problems
Rapidly modifying designs after testing

I am not looking for someone who only produces CAD drawings or attractive renders.

I want someone who can take a design into a workshop and physically make it work.

Prototype Philosophy

The objective is to build the prototype as economically as possible.

I do not want to redesign technology that already exists.

The project should make maximum practical use of:

Existing robotic arms or joint modules
Existing actuators
Existing motors and servo drives
Existing mobile robot components
Existing batteries and BMS systems
Existing cameras and sensors
Existing embedded computers
Existing robotics software
3D-printed components
CNC and laser-cut parts where required

The custom engineering should focus on the parts that genuinely need to be unique.

You should be comfortable sourcing and evaluating components from different manufacturers and combining them into one integrated system.

Mechanical Requirements

The robot should be compact and highly manoeuvrable.

The current preferred architecture is:

Mobile base → rotating torso → vertical lift → two robotic arms → sensorised hands / grippers

The torso should be capable of continuous 360° rotation.

The two arms must be capable of:

Independent movement
Coordinated dual-arm movement
Carrying objects together
Working simultaneously
Reaching across the centreline
Accurate pick and place
Handling objects of different shapes and weights

The design should target a combined two-arm handling capability of approximately 30 kg, subject to proper engineering and stability calculations.

Hands and Grippers

The hands are a critical part of the project.

I am looking for experience with:

Adaptive grippers
Mechanical fingers
Compliant gripping
Force sensing
Tactile sensing
Slip detection
Wrist force / torque sensing
Suction or vacuum gripping
Interchangeable grippers
Grasp detection
Object handling

The robot will need to handle a wide variety of objects, so a simple fixed two-finger gripper may not be sufficient.

Software and Control

The robot must eventually operate at commercially useful speed and accuracy.

The software architecture should support:

ROS2 or equivalent
Dual-arm control
Motion planning
Collision avoidance
Machine vision
Depth perception
Object recognition
Pose estimation
Visual servoing
Grasp planning
Pick and place
Teleoperation
Learning from demonstration
Behaviour trees or logical task control
Error recovery
Data logging
Performance monitoring

The system should be capable of performing tasks quickly, accurately and repeatedly, rather than operating like a slow laboratory demonstration.

AI and Learning

The architecture should support current and future robot-learning technologies.

Experience with any of the following would be useful:

Imitation learning
Learning from demonstration
Kinesthetic teaching
Teleoperation
Reinforcement learning
Vision-based task learning
AI grasp planning
Vision-language-action models
Robot foundation models

The robot should eventually be capable of learning practical tasks through demonstration rather than requiring extensive coding for every new activity.

Power

The robot should be capable of prolonged operation.

The engineer should consider:

Swappable batteries
Rapid battery change
Fast charging
Opportunity charging
Automatic docking
Battery management
Power distribution
Low-mounted batteries for stability

Minimal downtime is important.

Environmental Protection

The robot will operate in a demanding commercial environment.

The prototype must therefore consider:

Water resistance
Moisture
Splash protection
Steam
Dirt and contamination
Cleaning
Sealed electronics
Protected connectors
Easy-clean surfaces
Drainage
Protected bearings and joints

The engineer should recommend realistic IP protection levels for different components.

Prototype Manufacturing

I am very interested in using 3D printing wherever it makes engineering and commercial sense.

Suitable parts may include:

Body panels
Sensor housings
Electronics housings
Grippers
Cable guides
Covers
Guards
Mounting brackets
Prototype components

Structural parts should use appropriate materials such as:

Aluminium
Stainless steel
Structural profiles
Machined parts
Commercial bearings
Proper shafts
Industrial motors and gearboxes
Initial Scope

The first phase is expected to include:

Review of available robotic components
Recommended system architecture
Component selection
Initial CAD
Mechanical design
Electrical architecture
Motor and actuator selection
Sensor selection
Battery and power design
Gripper concept
Prototype BOM
Cost estimate
Practical build plan

If successful, I would like the same person or team to continue into:

Physical prototype assembly
Integration
Software
Testing
Modification
Improved prototype
Design for manufacturing
Location

Applicants may be based anywhere.

However, engineers or small engineering teams based in China, particularly Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou or nearby, are especially interesting because the prototype may be built and developed in China.

Direct access to:

Robotics suppliers
Electronics markets
Machine shops
CNC
Laser cutting
3D printing
Prototype fabrication

would be a significant advantage.

When Applying

Please do not send a generic application.

Please provide:

Photos or videos of robots or machines you have personally built.
Examples of real physical prototypes, not only CAD models.
Your exact role in those projects.
Experience with robotic arms.
Experience with mobile robots.
Experience with grippers.
Experience with motors, actuators and servo systems.
Experience with batteries and power systems.
Experience with ROS2 or equivalent.
Experience with machine vision.
Experience with 3D printing and rapid prototyping.
Experience sourcing robotic components in China.
Whether you have access to a workshop or prototype facility.

Please also answer:

If you were asked to build a compact dual-arm mobile robot using mainly existing components rather than designing everything from scratch, how would you approach it?

I am particularly interested in practical engineers who enjoy solving problems, building, testing and improving real machines.

Confidentiality

The detailed application and operating environment will only be disclosed to shortlisted candidates after an NDA is signed.

All project-specific CAD, schematics, drawings, source code and intellectual property developed under the project must be transferred to the client in accordance with the agreed contract.

Arthur Robotics is a London-based robotics startup developing dexterous robotic systems for industrial automation.

Our product includes dexterous robot hands, robot arms, and complete industrial workcells. We want a set of clean line / wireframe illustrations based on our actual hardware. The style should be technical and precise, but simplified enough to work well as brand graphics rather than engineering drawings.

For the initial project, we'd like to:

Develop a consistent illustration style

Illustrate our dexterous robotic hand

Illustrate a complete robot / workcell

Create several application illustrations, for example handling cables and connectors

Produce assets that work across web, presentations and large-format print

We can provide photos, videos, renders and CAD models of the hardware.

We're mainly looking for someone with very good visual judgement who can establish a style we can continue to use. Experience with technical illustration, industrial design, hardware or similar physical products would be useful.

We'd like editable vector source files, ideally Illustrator or Figma, as well as SVG / PDF / PNG exports.

There will likely be further work if this goes well. We have an upcoming trade show and are also working on our website and presentation materials.

When applying, please send 3–5 examples of work that are specifically relevant to this project. Technical line drawings, product illustrations, isometric illustrations and icon systems are particularly useful. No need to send a large general portfolio.

## YouTube Scriptwriter Needed – Machines, BattleBots & Robot Wars

I'm looking for an experienced **YouTube scriptwriter/researcher** for my faceless whiteboard explainer channel, **Odd Machines**.

The channel focuses on unusual machines, engineering, vehicles, inventions, and other interesting mechanical topics. Over the next few weeks, we'll be producing a lot of content focused specifically on **BattleBots, Robot Wars, combat robots, and related topics**.

Scripts will generally be written for videos around **20–25 minutes long**, so you need to be comfortable researching and structuring longer-form YouTube content.

### Research & Accuracy Are Extremely Important

I'm **not looking for someone who simply puts a topic into AI and sends me the generated script.**

AI can obviously be used as a tool during your workflow, but the finished script needs to be based on **genuine research, accurate information, and reliable sources**.

For BattleBots/Robot Wars content in particular, you may need to research things such as:

* Individual robots and their designs
* Builders and teams
* Weapons and technical specifications
* Famous fights and rivalries
* Tournament/competition history
* Wins, losses, and notable performances
* Different versions or generations of the same robot
* Interesting stories and incidents surrounding particular machines

If you're discussing a specific fight, statistic, technical feature, or event, I need to be confident that the information is **actually correct**.

I don't want to have to go through every paragraph myself and fact-check basic information that should have been verified during the research process.


### Writing Style

This is a **whiteboard-style explainer channel**, so the scripts should be informative without sounding like Wikipedia articles.

The writing should be:

* Conversational and easy to follow
* Entertaining without forcing jokes into every paragraph
* Well researched and factually accurate
* Written with good pacing for a **20–25 minute video**
* Able to explain technical information in a way the average viewer can understand
* Structured to maintain viewer interest throughout a longer video
* Original rather than simply rewriting information from one source

Depending on the topic, videos may be structured around **multiple entries**, with each section covering a different robot, machine, fight, event, or story.

### Reference Channel / Video

**A reference will be provided showing exactly the type of writing, structure, pacing, and overall presentation I'm looking for.**

It's important that you're comfortable studying a reference and **following the requested style closely**, while still producing completely original scripts.

Ref video/channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPCxXuOuXAU

### Not Just BattleBots

BattleBots and Robot Wars will be a major focus for the next few weeks, but this is still a broader **machines channel**.

Future topics may involve strange vehicles, experimental machines, unusual engineering, military machines, aircraft, ships, trains, failed inventions, historical technology, and other mechanical subjects.

You don't necessarily need to already be an expert on every topic.

What matters is that you're a **strong researcher who can become knowledgeable about a subject before writing about it.**

### What I'm Looking For

Ideally, you should have:

* Previous experience writing **YouTube scripts**
* Strong online research and fact-checking skills
* Experience with longer **20–25 minute scripts**
* The ability to turn research into an entertaining story rather than simply listing facts
* Good understanding of hooks, pacing, transitions, and viewer retention
* An interest in machines, engineering, technology, robotics, BattleBots or Robot Wars
* The ability to follow instructions and reference material closely
* Strong English writing skills
* Reliability and consistent turnaround times

Experience writing **faceless YouTube explainer/documentary content** is strongly preferred.

### To Apply

Please include:

1. Examples of previous **YouTube scripts you've written**
2. Any relevant experience writing about **machines, engineering, technology, robotics, BattleBots, Robot Wars, vehicles, or similar topics**
3. A brief explanation of **how you research and fact-check your scripts**
4. Your typical turnaround time for a **20–25 minute YouTube script**
6. Include the word **“Robot”** somewhere in your application so I know you've read the full job description

I'm looking for someone who can potentially become a **long-term writer for the channel**, particularly if you can consistently deliver accurate, well-researched scripts that don't require extensive fact-checking or rewriting after submission.

I am looking for a mechatronic engineer with extensive experience in PLC programming who can integrate the PLC with an AI engine. With experience in wiring and physical wiring sensor integrations, if you have hands-on experience in this area, I would love to hear from you. The role involves working on automation systems and ensuring seamless communication between hardware and software components.

I want to create a personal-grade robotic solution for use in the home. My primary goal is purely robotic in nature: turning a concept into a working device that can move safely around a domestic environment, carry out simple household interactions, and be controlled through a companion mobile or web interface.

Here’s what I already have in mind:
• Core functionality: autonomous navigation (basic obstacle avoidance), voice or app-based commands, and the ability to perform at least one practical task such as fetching light objects or providing room-to-room telepresence.
• Hardware: I’m open to your recommended microcontroller or single-board computer, but it must be affordable and easy to source globally.
• Software: preference for Python or C++ (ROS, OpenCV, or similar libraries welcome) so that future feature additions are straightforward.
• Form factor: compact enough for apartments, aesthetically friendly, and safe around children or pets.

Deliverables
1. Concept design with component list and estimated costs.
2. Schematics, wiring diagrams, and 3-D model files.
3. Firmware / software package with documented source code.
4. A brief video or simulation demonstrating the robot completing its core task.

Acceptance criteria
• The prototype must navigate a simple home-like test layout without collision.
• Commands issued from the companion app trigger the defined task consistently.
• Full build and setup instructions allow another maker to reproduce the result.

If you have experience with personal or home robotics and can take this from idea to demonstrable prototype, I’d love to see how you would approach it.

The project is a compact, bipedal humanoid that will rely on a PA-CF 3D-printed chassis and 21 actuators. I need a complete mechanical design package created exclusively in Fusion 360, ready for immediate prototyping and eventual low-volume production.

Scope of work
– Model the entire skeleton, shell and joint architecture so every component is ready for direct PA-CF printing without post-machining.
– Integrate 21 actuators (servo or BLDC) with realistic torque, weight and envelope constraints; include mounts, brackets, gear trains or harmonic drives where necessary.
– Optimise wall thicknesses, ribs and lattice infill for strength-to-weight, thermal dissipation and print time.
– Plan fasteners, cable routing and access points to keep the robot serviceable.
– Apply DFM/DFAM principles throughout, detailing print orientation, support strategy and critical tolerances.

Deliverables
• Native Fusion 360 file set (components, assemblies, motion study)
• Exported STEP and STL files for every part ready for slicing
• 2D fabrication drawings with critical dimensions and tolerances
• Assembly drawings, exploded views and labelled BOM
• Brief DFM report summarising print settings, material usage and post-processing notes

Acceptance criteria
A design review in Fusion 360 using the web viewer will confirm fit, actuator clearances, weight targets and printability on a 300 × 300 × 400 mm build volume before final sign-off.

When you respond, please highlight your direct experience with robotics or load-bearing 3D-printed assemblies in Fusion 360.
