DHL Robotics Challenge 2017

Deadline: 2017-09-16
Award: €15,000

Calling all inventors and visionaries! DHL needs your help to deal with the ever-increasing volume of material in our warehouses and distribution centers.

This year’s DHL Robotics Challenge requires you to design a prototype of a mobile piece-picking robot with an arm that can navigate traditional warehouse shelves, picking up items and placing them into an order tote. Your prototype must be able to traverse a typical warehouse environment at walking speed while picking items from shelves and maneuvering these items into a packaging area. It should save warehouse workers the tiresome task of walking and manually pushing a trolley through the aisles.
