ARIAC 2017 Results

We are happy to announce the final results of the first annual Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition (ARIAC).

While autonomously completing pick-and-place kit assembly tasks, teams were presented with various agility challenges developed based on input from industry representatives. These challenges include failing suction grippers, notification of faulty parts, and reception of high-priority orders that would prompt teams to decide whether or not to re-use existing in-progress kits.

The diversity in the teams’ strategies and the impact of their sensor configurations can be seen in the video of highlights from the finals:

https://vimeo.com/224134238

Scoring was performed based on a combination of performance, efficiency and cost metrics over 15 trials. The overall standings of the top teams are as follows.

**First place: Realization of Robotics Systems, University of Southern California**

**Second place: FIGMENT, Pernambuco Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology / Federal University of Pernambuco**

**Third place: TeamCase, Case Western Reserve University**

Top-performing teams will be presenting at IROS 2017 in Vancouver, Canada in a workshop held on Sunday, September 24th. Details for interested parties are available at https://www.nist.gov/el/intelligent-systems-division-73500/agile-robotics-industrial-automation-competition-ariac

The IROS workshop is open to all, even those that did not compete. In addition to having presentations about approaches used in the competition, we will also be exploring plans for future competitions. If you would like to give a presentation about agility challenges you would like to see in future competitions, please contact craig.schlenoff [at] nist.gov(Craig Schlenoff).

Congratulations to all teams that participated in the competition. We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver!
