Abstract

Abstract: We share experiences and lessons learned in participating the annual Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition (ARIAC). ARIAC is a simulation-based competition focusing on pushing the agility of robotic systems for handling industrial pick-and-place challenges. Team RuBot started competing from 2019, placing 2nd place in ARIAC 2019 and 3rd place in ARIAC 2020. The article also discusses the difficulties we faced during the contest and our strategies for tackling them. Video of system sketches: https://youtu.be/7H7YLeJz2zE . Highlights: Two Top3 wins in Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition. System sketches for Team RuBot's solutions in ARIAC. Lessons learned from the participation in ARIAC.
