1. Explain RRT, PRM and A*. Which would be most appropriate for a robot in a dynamic environment? 2. What do you do when there is too much noise on the feedback from the robot? I told them that I would use a low pass filter and subsequently asked questions on various other filters. 3. Explain RTPS protocol. Would you use ROS or RTPS for robots and why? Flexiv robots use RTPS protocol so expect several questions. 4. A lot of questions on C++ data structures, OOP, public Vs private, constructors and other basics. No programming, only oral questions 5. Many questions on Impedance control, Force control, Jacobian and Robot dynamics. One question I remember is why several robot manufacturers don't allow users to set the value of the inertia (M). 6. Several questions on the upcoming projects such as robot polishing, vertical farming etc. They asked me what are the issues that I foresee in those projects and strategies to mitigate them.
