Our scientists from the laboratory have participated in the most prestigious international robotics competition MBZIRC 2020 together with their colleagues from the Laboratory of Multirobotic Systems at the Department of Cybernetics and colleagues from the American Universities NYU and UPENN. Among tough competition from teams all around the world, we proved that we belong amongst the best in the field.
The competition consisted of three disciplines – ball catching, wall building, and putting out a building on fire. In the discipline of autonomous wall building, we won the gold medal, in ball catching, we won silver, and our most important victory was in the main discipline which combined all three previously mentioned disciplines.
