    Ken Goldberg, Ambi Robotics moderating Grand Challenges in Robotics: Industrial Dexterity: Rate, Range, and Reliability.

    Join us on April 5 for the Grand Challenges in Robotics: Dexterity an interactive webinar discussing the state of the art and open problems for new research in robot dexterity.

    Grand Challenges in Robotics: Dexterity
    Conversation 4 on Robot Dexterity: Industrial Dexterity: Rate, Range, and Reliability

    Wednesday, April 5, 12-1 PM CT

    Moderator: Ken Goldberg, University of California, Berkeley and Ambi Robotics

    Panelists: Jeff Mahler, Ambi Robotics; Matt Mason, Berkshire Grey and Carnegie Mellon University; Lauren Miller, Boston Dynamics

    E-Commerce has increased dramatically due to the pandemic, putting tremendous pressure on warehouses to meet the demand. As each order and package varies, robots must dynamically and reliably plan grasps and motions at a high rate of speed for a broad range of packages. Warehouse applications are a “sweet spot” for emerging advanced in robot sensing, planning, and control; a number of companies are using “Industrial Dexterity” to handle millions of packages per day. This panel will consider the state of the art and open problems for the new research.
