@audrow I think ROS is a good "nice to have" but isn't the primary reason people get hired in robotics. In my case interviewers were mostly interested in my experience applying ML/AI to robotics problems
@ramez I think for any specific task, a humanoid robot is suboptimal. However, if you're looking to develop a generalist robot that can perform many tasks, a humanoid is the best choice.
@chris_j_paxton I'm not that familiar with the environment creation but what you say here makes sense. Reminds me of the early days of ROS where you were tied to a specific version of the Ubuntu distro. At least we are doing better than that over here!
@arpitbansal297 I have a similar story to yours. I guess I slipped through the cracks as well. Wild that having multiple papers is considered to be the norm these days.
@WilliamWimley My experience is limited to machine learning and robotics. In my research I almost exclusively read preprints on @arxiv. It's often much quicker than waiting for a final version to be published and speeds up my own research.
@DhruvBatraDB @MetaAI I couldn't find any internship openings on @MetaAI for embodied AI. Do you happen to have the listings handy? Would love to apply!
