Understand

This paper describes Team Delft's robot, which won the Amazon Picking Challenge 2016, including both the Picking and the Stowing competitions.

  • The goal of the challenge is to automate pick and place operations in unstructured environments, specifically the shelves in an Amazon warehouse.
  • Team Delft's robot is based on an industrial robot arm, 3D cameras and a customized gripper.
  • The robot's software uses ROS to integrate off-the-shelf components and modules developed specifically for the competition, implementing Deep Learning and other AI techniques for object recognition and pose estimation, grasp planning and motion planning.
