Model Evaluation & Real-World Performance

• Design and conduct experiments to evaluate AI models across different scenarios and operating conditions.
• Establish appropriate evaluation methods and performance metrics for AI-driven robot tasks.
• Analyse model failures and identify whether improvements are required in data, model training, perception, or system integration.
• Test and validate AI model performance within real-world robotics environments.
• Document experiments, results, observations, and technical findings to support continuous development.

AI & Robotics Integration

• Work closely with Robotics Engineering and Integration teams to integrate and validate AI models within robotic systems.
• Support deployment and optimisation of AI models on edge computing environments, including NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX/Thor where applicable.
• Work with ROS2/AimRT-based robotics environments where required for model integration and testing.
• Troubleshoot AI and perception-related issues observed during system testing and real-world deployment.
• Support integration between AI models, perception systems, robot behaviour, and application workflows.

Cross-Team Collaboration & Continuous Development

• Collaborate with Robotics Engineering, Robotics Integration, Application Engineering, Data, and Operations teams throughout model development and deployment.
• Translate field feedback, failure patterns, and robot performance data into actionable AI development priorities.
• Share findings from model testing and real-world deployment to improve AI and robotics performance.
• Maintain documentation covering datasets, models, experiments, evaluation results, and deployment requirements.
• Keep abreast of developments in embodied AI, VLA models, computer vision, multimodal learning, and robotics AI.
• Contribute to building scalable AI capabilities supporting MR. ROBOT's retail robotics

roadmap.
