First Amazon Picking Challenge

We are always really excited by robotic contest. If you have ever followed us for any period of time, you probably know that we have been involved with the teams who are participating in the DARPA Robotics Challenge. We also have our own internal robotic competitions to increase our common knowledge and to share this knowledge with our business partners. Now there is a new kid on the block: the Amazon Picking Challenge. The competition will be held in Seattle, WA during ICRA 2015. So why do Amazon and robots go together?
