Who we are
Autonomous is a US company with offices in Vietnam, New York, and California. We make AI hardware. This year, robots are our main focus.
The product & the role
We are building Lamp - one of the first robots we ever made. It is alive, and it lives in people's homes. Most robots are toys you drive with an app; ours is different. Lamp is a small desk robot with a moving arm, a face made of light, a voice, and a memory of your day.
Our dream: the first living, breathing, autonomous, sensor-driven robot - in the beautiful form of a lamp. You own the body. You start with Lamp, then build the next one. Nobody hands you a finished drawing set. Software decides what the robot thinks; you decide how it moves and how it feels.
Scope of work
The body of LAMP. Redesign the enclosure for injection molding - draft, even wall thickness, gate and knit line positions, and keeping sink and ejector marks off the surfaces people see. Work with the mold vendor through the trials until the samples are right.
The moving parts. Make the five joints accurate, quiet and long-lasting: stiffness, backlash, torque margin, hard
stops, and running cables through joints that rotate.
Structure, heat and sound. Keep it stable when the head moves. Cool it without a fan. Stop servo noise from reaching the microphones.
Cost and assembly. Fewer parts, simpler fasteners, the right jigs, and a build sequence a line operator can follow.
Quality and testing. Tolerance stack-ups, colours that match between batches, and testing for drop, vibration,
packaging and joint life.
