Competitions

CORSMAL has organised a series of competitions to advance multimodal inference under uncertainty in physical human-robot collaboration, especially during dynamic object transfers. Since 2019, the competitions have been held at international conferences and summer/winter schools, and have attracted over 100 researchers from academia and industry.
