Locus Robotics | UI-Robotics | Wilmington, MA | Onsite, Remote | http://www.locusrobotics.com/about-us/careers/
Locus Robotics has developed a field-proven solution for improving productivity in rapidly growing and strategic warehouses operations around the world. Our mobile, autonomous robots work together with human warehouse associates to deliver real and measurable business value. Our incredible technology is solving a real problem in fast growing and diverse market segments.
An important challenge of any robotic system is enabling their use by non-experts. It will be your role to define how users will interact with and control the system during tasks such as mapping, calibration, and maintenance. Working with a small team of dedicated roboticists, you will develop, build and test a practical robotics solution for a rapidly-evolving market, e-commerce fulfillment solutions. We work and iterate quickly with very cool tech, have a transparent company culture and work environment and have a fully-stocked kitchen!
Responsibilities:
-Define our Web/UI technology stack with whatever architecture and technology fits the bill.
-Design sensible frontend APIs (REST or otherwise) for a distributed software system.
-Create user workflows for setup, operation, and maintenance tasks.
Requirements:
-Proficiency with JavaScript.
-Familiarity with Python, RDBMS systems.
-Familiarity working within a Linux environment.
-3+ years of experience developing and shipping production software.

The "Season Only" Episodes are, in this case, behind the scenes type things. You can buy 1 by 1 without issue, I've been doing the same. The other nice thing (I think it's new) is that Google Play will deduct the price of episodes you've purchased individually from the season price if you do decide you want the whole thing later.
We use Dell's Precision 15 5000 laptops. We get them with a Xeon E3-1505M and Quadro M1000M, which performs great in what we're doing (simulation, extremely multithreaded sensor processing, etc.). They're not cheap, but if you want "the best", I'd say they're a good candidate.
They're just targeting different markets. Otto is largely targeting manufacturing, Locus is targeting e-commerce and fulfillment more. The morphology of the robots follows from that.
