Robotics Systems Engineer: Internal Retrofit of Prebuilt Robi 2 Humanoid
Seeking an expert Robotics Engineer to perform a full internal system upgrade on a pre-assembled DeAgostini Robi 2 humanoid. The goal is to replace all hobby-grade components with a professional-grade sensor and actuator suite for real-time control via a remote Mac mini M4 Pro. Scope of Work: Actuator Swap: Remove all 20 stock servos and replace them with Dynamixel XL330-M288-T smart actuators. (Note: Must use metal hinges/brackets; no 3D printing). Processor Integration: Install a Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) as the primary on-board controller and wireless bridge. Sensor Suite: Integrated installation of a Slamtec RPLIDAR C1 (360° LiDAR) and a 1080p Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3. Power Delivery: Implement a USB-C PD (Power Delivery) system with a 10A DC-DC regulator to support simultaneous high-torque movements. Latency & Control: Configure the Pi 5 to stream joint telemetry (torque, position, velocity) and sensor data to a Mac mini M4 Pro with sub-20ms latency.
