European Robotics Forum, Rotterdam 2022
The Platonics won the Franka Emika Manipulation Challenge
During that competition, the team was able to demonstrate the capabilities of the approach in combination with the hardware. The task consisted of several insertion tasks and key turning tasks.
About the competition
From Franka Emika: "The European Robotics Forum 2022 in Rotterdam, NL is the most influential meeting of the robotics community in Europe - and therefore a perfect fit for our Franka Emika Robot! We really enjoyed engaging with local university students, as we hosted the Tactile Manipulation Benchmark Hackathon Challenge. Robotics up close, that's how we like to inspire to the engineers and researchers from tomorrow! Congrats to TU Delft for mastering the challenge!"
