European Robotics Challenges

The European Robotics Challenges (EuRoC) aims at strengthening collaboration and cross-fertilization between the industrial and the research community by launching three industrially-relevant challenges in European robotics with applicability to the factory of the future. To qualify for admission, potential challengers are asked to solve a simulated task. The aim of this talk is to describe the development of a simulated human-robot collaboration task using ROS/gazebo. Furthermore several backend developments to allow controlling the scenario, logging and evaluating relevant data and automatic assessment are detailed and discussed.
