Humanoid Robo

I have already built the core frame, drivetrain and basic ROS nodes for a humanoid robot; now I need a robotics specialist to take it across the finish line so it can reliably handle industrial-grade assembly work on a factory line.

What’s left to do spans both hardware and software. On the mechanical side, wrist and gripper modules must be refined for repeatable pick-and-place, the torso needs final cable routing, and the protective covers should be redesigned for faster maintenance access. Electrically, I still require clean integration of the force-torque sensors, proximity safety scanners and the 48 V power distribution board.

The bigger challenge is the control stack:
• Extend the existing ROS 2 framework with MoveIt motion planning for dual-arm manipulation.
• Write C++ / Python nodes for vision-guided part recognition (OpenCV or equivalent) and real-time torque compliance.
• Implement error-recovery behaviours so the robot can detect a mis-pick and automatically retry without human intervention.
• Create a simulation in Gazebo (or your preferred tool) that mirrors the final kinematics, then validate paths before flashing the firmware.
• Provide clear documentation and a short video demo of the robot assembling a sample jig.

I am open to component or library suggestions as long as the final system remains ROS-compatible and serviceable with readily available parts. Safety standards such as ISO or ANSI can be discussed if you have prior experience certifying collaborative robots, but they are not a hard requirement at this stage.

If you have shipped similar assembly robots, send me a brief outline of your approach and estimated timeline, and we can dive straight into the technical details.
