why is it that Amazon cant just put a much higher bounty on that task?
of lets say 1m$? it seems that this would increase the competition by a huge amount and if that can get amazon 1 year closer to fully automated picker it should be wort it.
The payed around 700m$ for the kiva bots, so why one 30k$ for that competition?
Or dont they beliefe in markets?
- s6549 12y agoGood question. High-end challenges in this field is done. At the 700m$ range, high end research now goes towards the driver-less delivery truck. The remaining work to be done regarding the picker task is low-end software work: how to cut costs, reduce errors, increase robustness, scalability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plo7SH9aBgg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plo7SH9aBgg [IPI Robot Throwing Boxes-IEEE Spectrum] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlC2O9T9jks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlC2O9T9jks [Object Detection and Recogition WillowGaragevideo's channel] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdQ8lTOSS0U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdQ8lTOSS0U [Industrial Perception Inc 3D Pick and Place - Gary Bradski] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g2e2WFG7C8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g2e2WFG7C8 [iHY Robot Hand Can Grip Anything - IEEE Spectrum]
