Human-to-Robot Handovers
Teams
- Teams can include individuals from one or more institutions, and individuals from academia and industry are equally welcome to participate.
- One person can only participate in one team.
- Each team cannot have more than 5 members (including the team leader).
- The organizers are not allowed to participate in the competition.
- Teams must register using the online form, or via email, and nominate a contact person. The registration includes, but is not limited to, a one to two-page description about the team, names of team members, their affiliations and contacts, who the team leader is, and a brief description of the team's technology, robotic systems, and sensor systems.
Solution design and development
- A complete robotic system should be used.
- Teams are expected to bring and mount their own setup, unless they declare they will use the available robotic arms.
- The task should be performed autonomously without any human input.
- Teleoperation is NOT allowed.
- Multimodality is allowed (RGB / RGB-D cameras / microphones / tactile sensors).
- Inference will use any combinations of the sensing modalities.
- The only prior knowledge available is the (high-level, unspecific) set of categories of the containers: cup, drinking glass, food box.
- The use of prior 3D object models is not allowed (e.g., the reconstructed shapes of the containers in 3D).
- Each human subject is instructed to use only one hand and always the same.
- The target location to deliver the container must be inferred using perception from the initial location (not hard-coded) TBC.
- Learning across executions of configurations is not allowed.
- Calls to exisiting Large Language Models are allowed.
