From November 25 to 28, 2024, the 1st euROBIN Coopetition will take place in Nancy, France, following Humanoids 2024, the IEEE-RAS 2024 International Conference on Humanoid Robots.
euROBIN coopetitions are designed not only to test individual team capabilities but also to foster collaborative innovation by rewarding teams for both their own achievements and the successful integration of their developed modules by others. By promoting modularity, reusability, and transferability in robotic systems, euROBIN aims to advance the frontier of robotics and artificial intelligence, driving progress in diverse application domains such as robotic manufacturing, personal robotics, and outdoor robotics for sustainable communities. Hereby, with these profiles we would like to welcome you to the pioneering world of the euROBIN project, where the brightest robotic teams from across Europe converge to participate in this groundbreaking event.

- ROBOTS OR PRODUCTS SHORT PRESENTATION: Tiago mobile manipulator
TIAGo robot by PAL Robotics is suitable for perception, navigation, manipulation & Human-Robot Interaction. The robot is a popular choice for research in universities and innovation centers, especially in Europe but also around the world, as well as being used in a number of collaborative EU projects.
- TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ROBOT/PRODUCTS: Tiago mobile manipulator
The different motors of the mobile manipulator robot can be controlled using ROS interfaces. All the controllers provided are implemented as plugins of ros_control and are contained in ros_controllers. All the controllers run in the real-time control loop and have access to the full robot hardware interfaces exposed by ros_control. The motors of TIAGo can be controlled in the following modes: The wheels of the mobile base can be controlled through velocity mode. The motor of the lifting torso and the two motors of the head can be controlled in position mode. Finally, the motors of the arm can be controlled in position and in effort mode.
Compliance in TIAGo’s arm is achieved by using two mechanisms: Sensorless torque control: open-loop torque references are commanded. This is based on feedforward current control which is achieved thanks to the accurate model of the arm dynamics including mechanics, electronics cabling and covers and the low friction of the joints. This results in a high acceptable force control in the operational space. Admittance control: using the data from the force/torque sensor of the wrist, positions can be commanded taking external forces into account obtaining even much better results than when using sensorless torque control.

- ROBOTS OR PRODUCTS SHORT PRESENTATION:
Franka Research 3 is the reference world-class, force sensitive robot system that empowers researchers with easy-to-use robot features as well as with low-level access to robot's control and learning capabilities.
The Intel® RealSense™ D435 camera offers a very wide field of view, along with a global shutter on the depth sensor that is ideal for fast-moving applications. A powerful, full-featured depth camera.
- TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ROBOT/PRODUCTS:
Franka Research 3's robot system includes the Arm and its Control. The force sensitive and agile Arm features 7 DOF with torque sensors at each joint, industrial-grade pose repeatability of +/- 0.1 mm and negligible path deviation even at high velocities. It comes with a payload of 3 kg, a reach of 855 mm and a workspace coverage of 94.5%.
The combination of a wide field of view and a global shutter sensor in the D435 make it the preferred solution for applications such as robotic navigation and object recognition. Global shutter sensors provide high sensitivity in low-light conditions, allowing robots to navigate spaces with the lights off. Ideal for low light conditions and wide field of vision. D435 depth camera is part of Intel® RealSense™.
The D400 series of cameras, a line incorporating Intel's latest depth-sensing hardware and software, packages them into easy-to-integrate products. Perfect for developers, manufacturers, and innovators looking to add depth sensing to devices, Intel® RealSense™ D400 Series cameras offer easy, out-of-the-box integration and enable a whole new generation of smart vision-equipped devices.

- ROBOTS OR PRODUCTS SHORT PRESENTATION: IST TIAGo
The IST TIAGo is a customized version of the TIAGo Steel robot developed by PAL Robotics, improved for the domestic environment. The IST TIAGo is a mobile manipulator robot with a differential- drive base, a lifting torso, a 2-DoF pan-tilt head, and a 7-DoF arm with a 3 kg maximum payload.
- TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ROBOT/PRODUCTS: IST TIAGo
In indoor domestic scenarios, the two Hokuyo laser range- finders mounted in the base and a downwards-facing RGB- D camera in the head, provide adequate localization and navigation with 3D obstacle avoidance. A second Orbbec Astra S RGB-D camera mounted in the head enables object detection, 6D pose estimation, and object tracking. A ReSpeaker microphone array with noise canceling and an 8W speaker enables human-robot interaction via speech. More recently, a 3D Ouster OS1 LiDAR was installed to be used in 2.5D navigation.
