PLATONICS team wins the EUrobin chllange!

The EUrobin manipulation skill versatility challenge aims to push the boundaries of complex and dexterous robot manipulation. The aim of the challenge was to develop a solution that allows robots to learn new skills and adapt to novel situations. The PLATONICS team from TU Delft proposed an Imitation Learning solution to directly learn from human demonstrations.

During the live demo they showed how, by simply dragging the robot around, a new skill can be recorded and then effectively adapted to the new position of the object to manipulate. The proposed design of the algorithms from robot control to machine learning and computer vision allowed to teach skills such as probing circuits, insertion tasks, disassembly bike lights and wrapping cables. They believe that making robots easy to teach by anybody is the first step for collecting the data of the next robotic revolution.

The TU Delft Robotics Institute is proud to sponsor initiatives like these, helping teams to accelerate their robotic innovation.
