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.
- The only prior knowledge available is the (high-level, unspecific) set of categories of the containers: cup, drinking glass, food box.
- Each volunteer 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.
Allowed
- Calls to exisiting Large Language Models
- Multimodality (RGB / RGB-D cameras / microphones / tactile sensors)
- Inference using any combinations of the sensing modalities
NOT allowed
- Prior knowledge of the objects (e.g. prior 3D object models, reconstructed shape of the containers in 3D)
- Learning across executions of configurations
- Teleoperation
