Automation and Robotics consultant

We are a Singapore-based company exploring how far modern robotics and automation can go in designing a next-generation high-throughput packaging and quality-control workflow with extreme reliability and near-zero error.

This is a challenge-style project for PhDs / postdocs / top problem-solvers who enjoy real-world systems thinking. Your role is to help us understand what is state-of-the-art today, propose viable architectures, and pressure-test feasibility before we commission a full build.

Ideal background: Robotics, industrial automation, computer vision, mechatronics, controls, factory/warehouse systems, operations research.
Engagement: 2–6 weeks (flexible), remote + optional onsite in Singapore.
Expected output: feasibility overview, 2–3 reference architectures, key design trade-offs, vendor landscape, and an implementation roadmap.
