Get ready for the euROBIN Nancy Coopetition 2024. In this page you will be able to find all information about the event.
What is this coopetition about?
The euROBIN network proposes the novel concept of robot cooperative competition focused on the three main application domains defined in the robotics roadmap of Horizon Europe:
• Robotic manufacturing for a circular economy
• Personal robots for enhanced quality of life and well-being
• Outdoor robots for sustainable communities
Each application domain correspond to one coopetition league. The leagues are described in Section 2.4 of the rulebook (see below) euROBIN’s cooperative competitions are based on a scoring system, described in Chapter 2, that gives credit to a team for its own achievements in executing tasks and for the successful usage by other teams of modules developed by the team. The latter approach promotes cooperation. In the limit, a team that produces very successful modules used by many other teams might win the competition without developing its own integrated system. Nevertheless, teams are encouraged to impact both components, actively participating in the actual coopetitions. The
project team has been working on developing metrics that enable to award score points to teams contributing with modules used successfully by other teams in the coopetitions, effectively encouraging module transferability and reusability. Developed modules must be available in euROBIN’s EuroCore platform.
Hackathons will me held mostly online, using realistic simulators developed within the project, namely the Virtual Research Building. They will serve to let the teams prepare for euROBIN’s two major coopetition events: in Nancy, France, after Humanoids 2024, and in another event close to the end of the project, in 2026. The first euROBIN project hackathon has been held in Seville in May 2023, lasted one week, and was based on real robots and a realistic lab scenario. The aim of the first hackathon was to pave the road for building EuroCore and testing the transferability of robotic features among the project partners. A video with a final hackathon demo can be seen in https: //youtu.be/vrRwY7f0g8I?si=sYf3rzEIy3J4r3_Q
