An exciting week of #euROBINWeek2024 comes to an end with one of the most anticipated moments: the result of the world's first ever Coopetition Challenge.
The 1st euROBIN Coopetition is part of euROBIN's mission to foster not only innovation, but also cooperative competition, bringing teams together to solve pressing robotics challenges.
And so it has been. During these days we have seen humanoid robots, quadrupeds, drones, manipulator arms and above all, teams with great professionals in robotics and artificial intelligence.
Researchers, universities, industries and even school classes have been able to enjoy #Humanoids2024 and then #euRObinWeek2024 at the Prouvé Congress Centre in Nancy.
We would like to congratulate the winners of the coopetition challenge in the 3 categories they competed in:
Robotic Manufacturing League for a Circular Economy.
- Team HCR, Jozef Stefan Institute, Slovenia - For their pioneering work in compliant handling.
Personal robots to improve quality of life and wellbeing League
- Alter-Ego, University of Pisa, Italy - Awarded for its advances in hybrid teleoperation without direct visibility and autonomy.
League of outdoor robots for sustainable communities
- IIT, Italy - Recognised for successfully deploying robotic technology in indoor environments to autonomously pick up and deliver packages while navigating obstacle-filled paths.
Thank you to these teams for exemplifying the spirit of coopetition that we wanted to highlight with the euROBIN project, showing how collaboration and competition can drive Europe's leadership in both robotics and AI.
Thank you all for being part of the euROBIN project these days.
To every single person who has helped to make this event possible.
To each team, for their perseverance, effort and desire.
And of course, thanks to every robot that has competed to be part of the eurobin family!
