GMAR Robotics School 2020

Draft; do not publish

Organization

Date: tbd; 1 week Mon-Fri in November 2020

Location: tbd; Innsbruck, university campus or a nice facility with integrated accommodation nearby

Topic: Mobile Manipulation

Audience:

  • advanced Master and young doctoral students in subject areas related to robotics (engineering, computer science, etc.)
  • 15-25? participants, depending on the location
  • prerequisite: familiarity with ROS, to be specified; recommend tutorials

Concept:

  • hands-on, making things work on real robots
  • technical lectures concentrated near the beginning of the week
  • hacking starting day one, growing in importance as the course advances
  • hacking in small teams dedicated to specific functionalities
  • some application talks towards the end, not relevant to the hacking

Implementation Goal:

  • SLAM, autonomous navigation
  • vision-based grasping of (known and/or unknown?) objects from known locations
  • placing objects in designated locations
  • execution of high-level plans involving the above capabilities

Robots:

  • 2 UIBK mobile manipulators (homebrew base with Franka Emika Panda)
  • TUW Honda mobile manipulator

Schedule

Each session lasts 90 minutes; blank = hacking.
