Team Applied Robotics to compete in Amazon Picking Challenge

Team Applied Robotics officially qualified to compete in the Amazon Picking Challenge at ICRA 2015. The challenge is to build a robotic application that is able to pick up randomly placed items from a shelf. Although this is a simple task for a human, it is still a huge challenge to automate. Amazon hopes to spur the advancements of the technologies that will enable an economically viable generic order picking solution.

Team Applied Robotics will be working on:

• Development of a compliant gripper
• Object recognition
• Path planning
• Task coordination
