UR10 and suction gripper controlled via impact-aware QP control

December 2021

I.AM. Booth with demonstrator @ European Robotics Forum (ERF 2022), Rotterdam

28 - 30 June 2022

Finally, after a few years only online due to COVID-19, we were able to have a joint demonstrator booth were we could demonstrate our TOSS scenario for logisitcs applicaitons for 3 full days at ERF 2022 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands!

Great reactions and fantastic feedback from the robotics community, policy makers and industry.

We also jointly organized our yearly End-User Advisory Board at ERF, to gather valuable input from possible end-users outside of the logistics field, to see how I.AM. Technology can be adopted in other fields as well.

TOSS integration week @ TU/e

13 - 17 September 2022

Finally after a few years of COVID-19, we were able to organise an physical integration and validation session together with CNRS, Smart Robotics, Vanderlande, EPFL and TUe/, in order to integrate their work for the TOSS scenario on both Panda and UR10 setups with the goal to validate it against industry standard benchmarks. Our results are published and submtted in deliverable I.AM. - D5.3 - Scenario 1 (TOSS) report - v1.0

GRAB integration week @ EPFL

29 January - 2 February 2024

After making new plans for BOX and GRAB scenario in October 2023, we organised a new GRAB integration week @ EPFL. Our results are published ans submitted in deliverable I.AM. - D5.5 - Scenario 3 (GRAB) report
