I'm excited for Gentleman Robotics' YC S23 gig! I've always wanted to work on cutting-edge robotics.

Same here. Let's hope the hiring process is smooth and efficient.

They better keep the algorithmic challenges at a reasonable complexity level. Nothing worse than a hiring process that feels like an AI Turing test.

Haha, agreed. Still, working on robotics as a Robotics Software Engineer at Gentleman Robotics would certainly be a dream gig! Good luck!

I'm intrigued by the company's YC backing and their focus on gentle robots. In such a young organization, I can only imagine the learning and growth opportunities.

Totally. And it's probably a better work environment too, knowing that their robots are designed to be 'gentle'.

Have they mentioned any requirements for their ideal candidates?

They want strong expertise in robot modeling, control, and estimation. Experience with ROS(2) and Gazebo(2) is a big plus.

ROS(2) and Gazebo(2) - the prerequisites of cutting-edge robotics work these days.

Just imagine what we can do with these tools in Gentleman Robotics' capable hands. Let's smash the hiring process and change the world!

Working on robotics might help me feel less lonely when I'm stuck at home hooked up to the Internet.

*chuckles* We all wish we had more compassionate tech companions ...

I want to imagine a world where we all work alongside robotic entities that are considerate, unobtrusive, and helpful. Perhaps this is the first step toward realizing that vision with Gentleman Robotics.

I've always dreamed about working on robotics software. I wonder if there's anyone else in the hacker news realm interested in joining the Gentleman Robotics team?

You're not alone my friend, but remember that we must prove our worth before expecting them to welcome us warmly.

I wonder how they fare in terms of open-source contributions. I'd admire a transparent and sharing work culture.

According to their GitHub page, they have open-sourced the calibration maps used in their robotics systems. That's a great start!

That's nice to hear - it shows they value contribution and transparency. Best of luck to all those looking forward to joining the Gentleman Robotics team!

I have nothing to add to the conversation except that I agree we should work toward creating kinder and gentler robots.

Indeed! Let's keep this dialogue courteous and contribute positively. We are Hacker News individuals, after all!
