She's got a shield and sword to fight the onslaught. ~200ms latency, running on golang, node.js, react.js, python. Aim, shoot, also talk (text-to-speech)
Hey Jason, I'm working on a platform where people can control other people's robots. We're leveraging crowd intelligence as opposed to artificial intelligence, but we'd like to incorporate artificial intelligence soon. Perhaps you'd have some interest to check it out. We're at http://runmyrobot.com.
This is not what I expected when I read your comment. I was expecting a platform where you upload the parameters of a hardware system, the platform digitizes that system into a virtual sandbox, and people can then write arbitrary programs for that system and showcase them in the sandbox, where the uploader can buy, comment, and rate those programs. Something along the lines of https://openai.com/blog/
Raspberry Pi that runs the python program that sends video to the webserver using ffmpeg. Adafruit Motor HAT to connect the motors to the pi. Android phone is strapped to robot that runs a custom android app that receives chats from the website and also says them out loud using the Android API for text-to-speech. Everything sits on top of a 3d printed chassis. Cheap logitech webcam. Web app is a node server, socketio, ec2.
One robot is in Santa Barbara, California and the other is in La Jolla in San Diego, California at a park somewhere. If you type in the chat box, the robot will say the chat out load.

Is your software open source or available, it looks like it's python from the video. I want to buy your kit, but I'd like to build a robot that drives around my house while we are out, with a camera. So I would want to be the only one with access to the camera, turn it on when the alarm goes on. I a dev, I can hack python just fine. The reason I haven't done this myself is all the work to get to the hardware, and basic software.
Guessing the software arch, you encode the video on the robot and then send it to your backend site. Then you have a separate listener on the pi, that just takes single commands from the website. I imagine not running a webserver on the pi makes the response much faster and doesn't run down the battery. So for a private webcam in my house, a kind of alarm system, i need a system there to capture the video stream and act as a remote host that I can access from outside. I don't want to copy your webserver stack, I'd prefer something lighter weight, that I could run as a service on a linux or windows pc.
As for the server, you can use our site with privacy if you want. The privacy feature is brand new, so you can't see it in the interface yet, but it's there. We just have to turn it on. Or, you can build your own server/webclient if you want. We can provide all information you need for messaging protocol and such that's used to move the robot.
At ShipHawk, each developer is entrusted with autonomy and is provided transparency to all parts of the company. The more you put in, the more you get out of your experience here. We are a small agile team that's growing rapidly, 10 minutes away from Santa Barbara beaches. Pair programming and mobbing are the standard. We're tackling ambitious problems and there's no shortage of optimism and excitement here.
In addition to standard development skills, we're looking for you to have optimism, ambition, and a go-get-it attitude. You enjoy solving complex packaging and shipping problems and seek to make a tangible difference to the industry fast. For example: say you have a bunch of boxes of different sizes. You'll have to determine whether the boxes can fit on a pallet, and what the best way is to arrange them. If you say: no problem, give me multiple pallets and a weight and orientation constraint, then we want to talk to you!
You have: - 3+ Years of Ruby on Rails Development and 5+ years developing software in a commercial environment - Solid experience in building high-performance, reliable and scalable services - Experience with Ajax based user interfaces - Experience with our current technology stack is a bonus: Ruby on Rails, AngularJS, React, Git, Postgres - Shipping/transportation industry experience is a bonus
We want those who are efficient, organized and follows through on commitments. You're autonomous, have great analytical skills and pay attention to detail. In addition, you're calm under pressure, have a great work ethic and communicate well.
Please email me at theo@shiphawk.com if this interests you and please note in the subject line that you are from HackerNews

The Kaiser Permanente Medical Informatics team is looking for more software engineers. You will get to do more than code monkeying, though admittedly, there is always some time spent code monkeying. You will get to help improve our natural language processing pipeline to wrangle large clinical datasets (How can we do phrase chunking in a parallel manner? Can we get down to real time, sub-second, speeds?). Help improve our internal tools to assist our physicians and linguistic annotators. Can you use statistical analysis or machine learning to "recommend" other diagnoses? Or, my own personal curiosity, sparked recently in office: can we reprogram an FPGA to be optimized for pattern recognition computations?
If these kinds of things excite you, please send me an email at Theodore.X.Lee@kp.org. We're based in beautiful Del Mar, CA, btw.
Hey that is kind of cool. I imagine you could take the UMLS Metathesaurus and load the parts you are interested in to a in-memory store for fast lookups.
