I’m helping build it too and would love any thoughts out there!

Who else is into consumer robotics?

Synthesis AI | https://synthesis.ai/ | REMOTE (US timezones) | Full-time | Sales Engineers, Backend Engineers

We're hiring for sales engineers (junior welcomed!) and senior backend engineers. We're a VC-funded startup generating large amounts (hundreds of terabytes) of data for companies doing computer vision machine learning. We reduce our customers' need for collecting real data by 10x. Our customers are some of the big name tech companies and automotive companies, and startups too.

Tech stack: Python, Golang, React, AWS (SQS, S3, EC2, EFS, RDS, Kubernetes, Pulumi, more)

See https://angel.co/company/synthesis-ai/jobs

Feel free to contact me directly: matt@synthesis.ai

Synthesis AI | REMOTE | Contract to FT | Javascript engineer | San Francisco | https://synthesis.ai/

We generate terabytes of data for computer vision via a simple API, enabling the programmatic generation of millions of images with pixel-perfect labels to help you build new, better, and more balanced AI.

Our enterprise customers need a GUI to build and validate requests to our API, and that's who we're looking to hire! Mostly in-browser javascript, with some Node.js.

Yoga is a language as well as an environment, so if the robot has an open controller where a compiled program can be installed, it will work!

What robot did you want to tinker with

Curious about your use case! Do you want to setup your own warehouse for you and your own friends? Or use the existing Yoga warehouse and get your own personal Greppy on it that only a subset of people can share? Or something else?

That's what the googley eyes are for! Ideally, this isn't the only "greppy" design (:

Okay I'm 100% biased, but this is something I've enjoyed working with as well. It's made developing a self-balancing greppy super easy :)

My whole perspective changed greatly when I started to define success to be focused on what I want to be true about how I spent my time each day (e.g. on something I was truly passionate about), rather than an outcome like some financial event or some position.

Of course, it took me years to figure out what I would be passionate about doing that I would also earn a living off of!

Not more expensive than high power servo-motors! Hard to get low-RPM and position control from most drone motor controllers for robotics. I think it's mostly just different use-cases :)

Definitely think that's possible! Will check with the telescopeapp maintainers

I'm the maintainer of this site -- happy to answer questions.

I made it primarily because hacker news and Reddit don't have regular enough news updates on the robotics industry for what I wanted :)

I used telescope app, an open source project to get it up and running.

I maintain https://github.com/AdRoll/goamz FKA https://github.com/crowdmob/goamz , if anyone has any questions.

You should see how fast we can converge :)

Seek out mentors ASAP. Don't be shy to ask the best & brightest you know.

Good point. I'm specifically talking about founders who are shooting for 100mm in revenue companies (the kinds VCs would invest in). Sorry -- I thought everyone in the silicon valley defined entrepreneurs in the same way? ;-)

Thanks zck :) Happy to continue the discussion here!

Raise-funding-first

Hey -- thanks so much to the founders for this well-thought write up. Learned a lot.

hardcore!!

So I guess that means girls will be there too :)

Thanks Ryan! :) We think we're really onto something here. Only time will tell.

1337 ftw

Hear, hear.

Not sure we were bragging, but feel free to prove me wrong :P But that's a lot of entrepreneurs whose dreams he can help make a reality now!

Yeah -- again, totally our fault for having an out-of-date site. We don't even use Python as our main language anymore (doh!). We're doing some really cool stuff with RoR (and other frameworks) and building a majorly Service Oriented Architecture internally ;)
