About Nupeak Robotics

Nupeak Robotics is a venture-backed startup dedicated to developing robotic systems that master complex physical tasks. Our mission is to create robots that learn as effectively as humans, helping to automate manual labor tasks and improve efficiency. Our core product, PixaBerry, is a proprietary robotic strawberry harvester. The entire software stack (3D multispectral machine vision, swarm networking, autonomous navigation) and hardware components (Dexter Robot arm, differential drive electric robot base) are all designed and built in-house at our lab. We value flexibility, offering work-from-home days, and flexible working hours. We seek self-motivated individuals who are passionate about contributing to a company's growth.
