“A decentralized event followed by a three-day on-site competition to showcase autonomous manipulation skills of state-of-the-art robot platforms for the circular economy.”

euROBIN MSVC @ IROS 2024

The euROBIN Manipulation Skill Versatility Challenge, part of IROS 2024 in Abu Dhabi, focuses on developing autonomous robotic manipulation skills to support the circular economy. Teams will work on disassembling electronic waste using versatile robot skills. Selected teams will receive a competition task board and demonstrate their solutions both remotely and at the conference. The challenge aims to advance automation for e-waste processing and promote sustainability. The event includes various phases, from task development to on-site presentations and evaluations by an expert jury.
