Timeline
Here a timeline is shown with the major events and milestones that the I.AM. project produced
I.AM. KICK-OFF
The project officially started off during a 2-day event hosted at TU/e and Vanderlande in January 2020
I.AM. @ European Robotics Forum (ERF 2020), Malaga
Presentation of the I.AM. project to European industry and academia
First experiments for impact-aware open database
First version I.AM. dataset published
The I.AM. database is available at
Vanderlande Innovation Lab is getting alive
Lab hardware fully functional!
Suction gripper data collection and dynamic modeling continues
Full integration of software and hardware components for the Panda arm
Digital twin based on physics engine (Algoryx AGX Dynamics) and whole-body QP control (mc_rtc) interfaced with Franka Emika Panda robot, Smart Robotics suction gripper, and 6-camera motion capture (Optitrack)
Impact-Aware Robotics workshop IROS 2021
Full day workshop at IROS
All talks available online at

UR10 and suction gripper controlled via impact-aware QP control
I.AM. Booth with demonstrator @ European Robotics Forum (ERF 2022), Rotterdam
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
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
