Summary

The goal of STAMINA is to develop a fleet of autonomous and mobile industrial robots for jointly solving three logistic and handling tasks: de-palletizing, bin-picking, and kitting. The main task of our group is the grasping of parts from transport containers. This includes the detection and pose estimation of parts as well as the grasp and arm motion planning for a robot manipulator.

Depalettizing demonstrator.
